How to print merge with photo in CorelDraw (PAID METHOD)
It is said that E Cut at Macro Monster can do print merge with photo’s. However, Personally I did not try this and I do not recommend this. Why should we pay for a tool like this, when it is already available for free. CorelDraw is a vector designing tool. So it is acceptable to not have this print merge with photo feature. As I mentioned in the above video, you can import CorelDraw design to InDesign and perform the data merge which will contain the image and will be properly displayed on the design.
Well I cant pay But I am a developer, Can I develop a one like that.
The short and sweet answer is YES. If you are a developer you can develop macro’s that will perform the print merge and display the images. But to make it perfect you need a lot of coding. To be honest it depend on design. If you go to YouTube and searched for macro tutorials in CorelDraw, you will find something to start with. But you might need to adjust the coding a bit so, your macro will perform the print merge in the way you want. If you search the web, you might find some macro, but these macro’s will be most likely outdated. So you need to adjust the code to work it with the version of CorelDraw you are using.
