TCR at a glance
TCR
Convert to TCR when maintaining compatibility with a legacy handheld reading workflow or preserving an archive that already stores ebooks in that format.
In most current pipelines, TCR is a source to migrate away from rather than a preferred destination.
Use it only where old-reader support genuinely matters.
CDR at a glance
CDR
Convert to CDR when the recipient will continue editing or producing the artwork in CorelDRAW-based environments, especially in print, signage, or fabrication-adjacent workflows.
It is useful when native Corel compatibility is the priority.
For more neutral exchange, PDF, SVG, or EPS are usually easier handoff formats.
