Windows and Linux users, your mileage may vary, and obviously you don’t have Preview.app, but on Mac OS X this process works for me. Open a new document in CorelDraw and import PDF file.Copy the new PDF file to Laser Cutter PC.Open the PDF from Inkscape in Preview and Save as a PDF.Save (a copy of the file) as a PDF from Inkscape.CorelDraw gets some crazy error trying to open PDF files I create in Inkscape on Mac OS X… but what did work was a two-step process!Īgain, my goal is to do all of my design work on Mac OS X, typically using Inkscape, and then moving my files to the Laser Cutter PC running CorelDraw on Windows (yuk!)

I decided to give PDF files from Inkscape a try. Have you tried Inkscape Save as EPS, then Preview EPS to save PDF? (Inkscape Save as PDF might work as well, but I find Corel Draw gets messed up by fonts unless I start as EPS and then go to PDF) Thanks to a comment from old pal Thomas Edwards on the Part II post: (Part II), I figured that I had something that worked… but then something came along that worked better! (Part IV)Īfter my last post on the subject, Laser. NOTE: See the latest post on this subject: Laser.
