I don't know any PD ones that will let you do this;  two commercial
products that come to mind are Pizazz Plus (sp. ?) which is around
$150, supports many printer types etc.  and SCRtoPS which is about
$40 but supports only postscript.  You should be able to read in the
encapsulated postscript files created by either in PageMaker.  I don't
know what Corel Draw can handle, so won't comment on it.  Pizzazz Plus
is available from Application Techniques 508-433-5201.  SCRtoPS is available
from Offe Enterprises 312-357-6679.
