Introducing CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X3
More than 20 Years of Innovation
In 1985, Corel was founded on the promise of CorelDRAW®. Back then, a 
small development team building desktop-publishing solutions realized that 
there should be a better way to create graphics with a computer. Their 
eureka moment became CorelDRAW, a startlingly original application that 
set a new standard for graphics software.
Now, more than 20 years later, and based on unprecedented input from our 
customers, Corel proudly unveils CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3. This 
significant update includes more than 40 new and enhanced features that 
directly benefit the workflows of design professionals and occasional 
business users. Whether they’re creating company logos or working toward 
demanding production schedules, users can transform ideas into professional 
results with the help of this integrated suite of applications.
Putting the Customer First
Throughout the development cycle for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3, Corel 
consulted with its customers to better understand their needs and concerns. 
To gain fresh insights into customers’ use of the suite, Corel employees 
observed as users worked on various projects. As a result, the design process 
has been simplified to save time for customers in their day-to-day work.
Application stability, speed, and ease of use were top priorities during the 
development process, resulting in dramatically improved performance. 
Support for transparency and spot colors has undergone a major revision, 
resulting in significant improvements. In addition, compatibility with other 
industry-standard software and formats, such as Adobe® Illustrator®, 
Portable Document Format (PDF), PhotoShop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, and 
Microsoft® Office, is second to none. This ensures that users can collaborate 
and exchange files with confidence.
Text handling has been significantly enhanced with the addition of the new 
Character and Paragraph Formatting dockers. Now, all of the controls are just 
a mouse click away. To ease the challenge of repurposing low-quality bitmap
