I recently migrated from an old desktop Mac G4 with OS 10.4 to a new Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.7. With the new machine Freehand MX simply will not open. When I try to open it, its icon appears for a few seconds in the dock, but then disappears. Other apps I migrated run using Rosetta, but maybe FH won't do that.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would like to ask a question on font.
Is there a way to configure default font? For example, if I would like to make default font Georgia rather than need to chagne it every time, how to configure it? I didn't find the option in preference.
Another question is that does there exist "Array" operation as in AutoCAD? For example, if I would like to replicate an object 3×4 to three rows and four columns, with fixed column and row distance, how to achieve it?

Hi Sir/Madam
I am writing to you from Turkey, I am a huge fun of Photoshop and Freehand, My hand drawing is not that good, so i have to do my drawing on computer, Freehand is the best program that i do my drawing with, unfortunatly Freehand licence is very expensive in my country, and i really need to use that program, there is no way i can afford to buy Freehand and here, i was wondering if you could give 1 Freehand MX licence as a gift to me, if you can it will be perfect for me, and i will be greatfull to you.
Thank you very much
Best Regards

For no obvious reason I can no longer print from Freehand to pdf using the Adobe driver.
I'm using Freehand 11.0.1 on Windows 7 (64-bit). Our team has the same problem on Windows XP with Freehand 11.0.1, and Windows 7 (32-bit) with Freehand 11.0.2. All of the above stopped working this week. We still can print to pdf using Cute PDF. But we really would like to get back to using Adobe which gives us more control over the output generated.
Here is the content of Adobe log file:
---------- start of log file ----------------
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
{AVec 256 array copy /f1 /|______Gen_Arial dup RF findfont def f1
DoPatch}
false
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
----------- end of log file ----------------
The problem does not occur using the same Adobe print driver with MS Word, PowerPoint, or Adobe Illustrator CS6.
Has anyone else seen this or have a clue how to resolve it?
Any help is very much appreciated!!!!!
Thanks!

I bought Adobe Acrobat a few years ago. I have a new laptop and want to install the same rev but no idea what the serial or licence # is.... How do I do this?
Need to open freehand 11 files...
I need a way to convert .fh11 files to .ai files. Any way to do this? I'm running AI CS2 with no Freehand application.
Hello,
I have a new El Capitan Mac, installed Parallels 12, then installed Snow Leopard Server, then Freehand MX.... I get a bouncing Freehand Icon for a few seconds then nothing, no activation window. I have tried the adobe Freehand registration link which downloads a blank file? I have tried taking my Macromedia files from my old mac and putting them in the Application Support folder, Help!! What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something?
Thank you
I've been using MacroMedia FreeHand MX for many years. As everyone knows, however, it's been absorbed by Adobe and permanently retired so compatibility and support issues are now common. When I upgraded to Windows 10, it stopped working entirely. After reading some posts, I figured out how to get FreeHand MX working in Windows 10 by using the "Program Compatibility Troubleshooter." I can create NEW files in FreeHand MX with no problem now, but I cannot open any of my existing files. This is a serious problem, because I have dozens of MX files and most are important to me and impossible to replicate. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
In the future, I guess I'll be forced to upgrade to Illustrator or something else, but I'm desperate for a short-term solution so I can access my existing files.
Thanks to anybody that can help!
I'm Using Adobe FreeHand MX 11.0, when i need to print out always msg error"Could not complete your request becuase read or write access has been denied".
can your help me solve it?
i'm using Window Vista Home Premium and a try to upgrade the version but still cannot work.
I had a graphic design business for 10 years and at the time found Freehand to be the best solution. Now I'm an InDesign convert but many of the old freehand files I wish I could open and convert to something in CC. I need to rebuild my portfolio and many of those old Freehand files are great works of art. I no longer have a system that will run Freehand, is there something I can run that would convert these files to Illustrator or something usable. I wish adobe would at least make a patch so I can run it on my Mac long enough to get the key files I want. Anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed and 10 years of art is gone...
