I have been sent two .CDL files which I am told contain important artwork from a now defunct printing company. The only slight snag is neither I nor the sender can access them.

Is there someone who could extract the artwork into, say, Adobe Illustrator if at all possible? My email is in my contact info.

Thanks

This should get you a free trial version of ConceptDraw for Mac … see what happens 🙂

Thanks Richard. DeltaDave was able to get all the files extracted for me but will keep this in mind if the situation arises again.

All the best
