hi,

i have a around 500 cdr(corel draw ) files, and each pages have around 20 images in it.

so what i do. select every single image on the pages then using convert bitmap option to save them on my computer. That consume my whole time in saving them to my computer.

Is there any fast option available to select all images at once and convert to bitmap 20 images and save in a number say 1,2 ...20

i m not a corel draw expert, any suggestion will appreciated

do you mean 20 pages, with one image per page?

check this free macro

no they 20 image per page.

actually the corel draw file contain some identity card of school, they are 20 image per pages

 

I'm not sure I'm clear on exactly what you want to do, but will something like this Thumbnail macro from  Alex at Oberon work for you?

I use it to print out thumbnail sheets of old files and it works just dandy.

Ahhh.

I think I understand, you just want to get the images inside Draw now, to be outside of Draw as single external files, is this right?

  1. are there photos in CorelDraw only
  2. is there ID card info also
  3. is each card and photo grouped together

OK, try this.

make a folder on your C drive called

outputfiles

so, the full Windows path to it would be

C:\outputfiles\

put macro into correct GMS location on your system. here is help:

then

  1. Open Coreldraw
  2. load your file
  3. run the attached macro.
  4. look in output folder, should be JPEG's there.

thanks jeff.

it work like the same as i need, but the only problem is that the macro make all the object in jpg. the macro also make the text in a jpg.

but i need only the bitmap object to be saved (the photo of students). and in serially starting from the top left corner.

 

can we edit the function of this macro to be work as i want.

Anyway thanks for your help

Why not just delete whatever you don't need from the output folder?

You can rename a series of files outside of Coreldraw quickly in serialized fashion, after deleting the files you don't want.

If the output numbering must match the physical location in CorelDRAW, this gets more complicated and requires the specialized skills of a computer programmer to create something specific. I have a developer in mind who can cheerfully and quickly create what you need. It's possible to do as you ask, but at this stage it becomes a billable project. Is there any budget allowance for specialized solutions?

This is great for extracting each image for the file.

Is there a way to have five different cdr open in corel draw and have it export each file as one separate whole image.

Example:  I have five corel files made. I need to show a someone jpg examples of the whole design. Instead of having to open each file and clicking file > export to jpg. I was looking for a fast way to export all the example designs but not each image in the file.

I hope I am explaining that right.

Thank you
Kimberly

You could print multiple open docs to a single PDF, if the free PDFcreator was installed. You can even rasterize the contents to protect your work.

You can get extra fancy and have PDFcreator create a multipage TIFF too instead of PDF, but finding multi-page tiff readers is the next challenge.

Hi Kim,

IMO, PDF is the best choice to show to anyone but if the jpg is the only format you want then you can download this free virtual printer driver that prints any thing to a bitmap format (like jpg, bmp, png etc) and if they are multipage documents or multiple files, it automatically renames each page or each file serially.

Peace I-)

Hi,

I can see why you would suggest a pdf due to how I worded the question but it was only worded that way to make it easier to post. This is actually for a small web page example image of the pdf template that  can be download. I use adobe acrobat to batch process cdr's to pdf's and set settings. However I use corel draw to make the original artwork. But making a small jpg example for each cdr can be time consuming.I can batch process from pdf to jpg and resize using a batch image program. I was trying to cut down the sets doing a batch jpg export from corel.

I read the orginal posting and figure it was worth asking about a batch jpg export.

Thanks
