I've been working on a file in FreeHand 11 for a few months now, and for some reason after saving and closing the file about a week ago, I can no longer open it - on either of my computers (both PCs, one running XP, one running Vista). When I attempt to do so, I am presented with the following error message:

Could not complete your request because an unknown command was encountered.

Is there any possible way to fix this?

Freehand won't fully launch in OSX 10.6.8

I'm trying to install Freehand on a Mac running 10.6.8. Yes, I have downloaded and installed (placed) the MXa Registration file provided by Adobe. The program does launch, but only a couple of palettes open up. The entire tool bar across the top is missing and when I try to create a new file, nothing happens.

I tied downloading the trial version 11.0.2 as suggested in another post, but the same thing happened.

Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it.

If all you have is CS6 how do you convert old FreeHand files to native .ai?

I used FreeHand for 15 years and I can't simply give a finger to my archive of art just because Adobe makes a dumb-*** call and doesn't bother to create a simple drag and drop FREE app for FreeHand users that'll convert a file.

I don't care about retaining fonts or placed images I just need access to the vector art in my old FreeHand files.

Any suggestions other than "Re-install CS5." which isn't an option.

Thanks.

We do not have access to the main toolbar on our Mac Intel 10.4.10 based machine for Freehand 11.0.2. Our other machine is a generic Mac and does not have this problem. We have tried the fixits listed for 'missing toolbar' but that doesn't appear to work. Any clues anyone?

Hello,

Does anyone know the reason that text blocks would become fragmented after replacing fonts prior to opening a FH file?

Thanks,

Spot Pantone to CMYK processed with ease?

Hi,

I am placing a series of graphic art samples that consist of Pantone spot colors into what will be a CMYK (processed color) document for a presentation.
How can I convert all the samples that are Pantone assigned color to CMYK easily?? Is there a broad selection sort of solution because these are detailed & I don't want to have to individually click each & every element by hand + click on the color mixer to convert...that would take ages!
Surely you've got the answer? -- Thanks!

I'm on a mac using freehand MX v11.0.2

Someone has supplied me with a few words in arabic text. They display fine in textedit and in the word file supplied.

When paste into freehand however, it says font not installed and renders it as random characters

Should I be able to get arabic text into freehand or does it simply not support it?

≪ Previous: Freehand & Arabic Text

Is there a way, such as could be accomplished with 'Streamline' in older versions of Illustrator, but now is a built-in capability in Illustrator CS2, to outline a stroke in Freehand so it will be turned into 'flat' artwork (a filled path) retaining the identical look of the original stroked path but now, it becomes no longer a stroke but a filled object.

Hope I explained that correctly.

TIA,

Ken

I graphic designer who did my business cards sent me an .fh10 file from her PC. I have Freehand MX on my Mac, but it could not open the file. In fact, it is labeled as a "Unix executable file" in the "Get Info" window, and it appears with a "Terminal" icon in the finder. Is there any way I can open this?
