Adobe PageMaker is a desktop publishing application that aids in the graphical layout of print projects. Corel Draw is a vector graphics editor used to design and manipulate vector graphics. Because the two programs are vastly different in their functions and capabilities, it is only possible to partially convert a file from PageMaker to Corel Draw. In Corel Draw, you can open a PageMaker file, but you cannot edit it.
Step 1
Launch PageMaker. Click "Start" from the "System Tray" at the bottom of the desktop. Click "All Programs" and then click "PageMaker" from the list of applications.
