I use ai, which is easier to use. If someone uses CDR, I recommend using AI.

AI is one of a series of tool software in Adobe's complete set of design and pre-press solutions, so it prefers division of labor and collaboration with other software. It is very convenient to integrate with PS, ID, Acrobat and other software. At the same time, Adobe's solution pays more attention to the process of design and production, which means that AI software is mainly used to complete the production process of the entire design process.

AI’s color management function is more complete than CDR, the colors are more realistic, and the color difference of AI-exported bitmaps is smaller. The operation of new functions has also begun to slowly move closer to CDR. However, the lack of barcode production functions, lack of integrated object attribute panels, and lack of annotation functions are long-term shortcomings of AI. These functions can only be assisted by installing external plug-ins.

Characteristics of CDR
