Convert Adobe PageMaker files to CorelDraw by saving and importing with the EPS format.

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.
