Yes, there is a way to convert CDR files to PDF on Mac, even if CorelDRAW is not installed. Since macOS does not natively support CDR files, the easiest option is to use a dedicated CDR conversion tool made for Mac.

With the MailConverterTools CDR Converter for Mac, you can open CDR files directly, preview the design, and convert them into PDF format. You simply add the CDR file, choose PDF as the output format, select a save location, and start the conversion. The tool preserves layout, colors, and overall design quality, making the resulting PDF suitable for viewing, sharing, or printing on macOS.
