Recovery Toolbox for CorelDraw

CorelDRAW is one of the most employed tools for photo editing and illustration creation. As such, numerous auxiliary or complementary programs have been developed to aid professional or amateur users in one way or another. Recovery Toolbox for CorelDraw is one such application that allows one to repair and recover broken CDR documents.

It should be noted that the utility requires an installed version of CorelDRAW, as, once recovered, all data is transferred to the host program for processing. Also, an interesting feature is the method in which the program analyzes files, in that it makes copies of the source CDRs. This avoids the potential problem of leaving files in a state worse than before processing.

The program works with CDRs displaying both common and uncommon errors, such as those related to reading or opening a graphics file, as well as reading a suite document. Standard Input/Output problems can be fixed, as well as invalid workspace paths.

Other issues tackled by the application are related to file corruption, out of memory errors, bad bitmaps, and invalid IDs. These fixes are all performed in a highly intuitive environment, requiring no expertise on the users' part. Once a valid project has been selected, the program processes it and displays a preview of its content.

Large files can take a lot of time to analyze, so users should be patient. Once passed the preview validation stage, the program sends the repaired document to CorelDRAW for a thorough analysis. Source data can be contained in CDRs made with CorelDRAW versions 10 or later.

All things considered, Recovery Toolbox for CorelDraw is a simple, but practical tool for anyone who employs the CorelDraw graphics suite.
