How do I convert a .cdr file to .jpg using imagick API? I have done conversion of .ai and .psd files, but .cdr file isn't working. What can I do to fix this problem?

What versions of things are you using? Core Draw file, OS, and version of ImageMagick? – slm – 2012-12-23T01:27:51.260

Are you using Imagemagick's convert command? I just tried this on a Fedora 14 system and got the following error.

% convert hotrod_ms50.cdr hotrod_ms50.png
convert: delegate failed `"ffmpeg" -v -1 -vframes %S -i "%i" -vcodec pam -an -f rawvideo -y "%u.pam" 2> "%Z"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1061.
convert: improper image header `/tmp/magick-XXuV37pz.pam' @ error/pnm.c/ReadPNMImage/295.
convert: missing an image filename `hotrod_ms50.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2953.

According to this URL Imagemagick does support the conversion of .cdr but it looks like it's using ffmpeg to do this. What version of Corel Draw is your .cdr file from?

The file I tried to use above was reported to be from Core Draw 9.
