Can't open some old Freehand 5.1 files

Hi all,
I have some ancient Freehand files I need to open and the
newer versions won't recognize the content. Any ideas?

Adobe provides a time-limited trial version of FH8 to batch
convert old
files. You can download it here.

"You can open a FreeHand 3 or 4 file in FreeHand 7 or 8 and
then save this
file as a version 7 or 8 file. This process will be referred
to as
"converting" in this TechNote. The file that gets created in
the conversion
process can be opened in FreeHand 9 and later."

  • Can't open some old letters

    I just upgraded to snow leopard. I went back into some very old folders where I had some emails from early 2006. I can open them but it has all this kind of stuff below.:

    The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure any 3rd party apps AND plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible.
    An additional measure is to clear the existing font caches:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html
    That said, 10.6.2 release notes have this to say about fonts:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3874
    Fonts fixes provided for:
    • an issue with font spacing
    • an issue in which some Fonts are missing
    • font duplication issues
    • an issue with some PostScript Type 1 fonts not working properly
    Good luck in any case and be sure to apply the 10.6.2 update.

  • Need help opening really old FreeHand files

    I have some very old FreeHand files, I'm not sure what
    version but probably around v.5 or so. I have all the source files
    and fonts and I'd like to reconstruct FreeHand files in version 10
    or even 9 if possible. Problem is I can't open the old FreeHand
    files through the menu options or by dragging the files onto the
    app icons.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I downloaded FreeHand BNDL
    Resources from FreeHandSource.com a while back but they didn't seem
    to do anything. Any help is appreciated.

    Are you on a Mac? If your version of Freehand can open the
    version the
    file was saved as you can open the file by dragging it to the
    application icon while holding down the option and apple
    keys.

  • Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out.

    Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out. I saved a bunch of stuff back in 1996, and now i need to open it.

    Pages opens strictly word processing AppleWorks v6 files.
    The problem with ClarisWorks files were they could contain all sorts of objects from databases to spreadsheets, drawings and paint. the iWork suite is not that versatile.
    But you really have little choice as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks are both history. If you are going to switch, the sooner the better.
    Just keep in mind what Apple did to ClarisWorks/AppleWorks along with many other of their appliactions and technologies theywill ultimately do to Pages.

  • TS3899 I can't open some attachments on my iphone or ipad?

    I can't open some attachments on my iphone or ipad. The little paper clip shows on the side but there is no attachment or file in the body of the email to click on to. It's not with all emails - all of the time???  This has happened on with older and the new iOS software. 

    why is it that I can't delete some photos on my iPhone and iPad?
    And in addition to gail's list: if you try to delete edited photos in iPhoto, they will remain on your device. To be able to delete them completely, revert the photo to original before deleting.
    See:  http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/?lang=en#blnkb9b1e2a
    If you delete a photo from the Photos app on your device, the photo is deleted in iPhoto (unless the photo has been edited, captioned, tagged as a favorite, or used in a web journal, slideshow, or photo book).

  • Can't open some attachments

    I am not sure what is going on, but I can not open some attachment files either by quicklook or in iBooks. So far there are .doc and .pdf files that I just can not open. The .pdf gives me the option to open in iBooks, but when I hit the button...nothing. It does not open. That said, other .pdfs have worked, .dot and .xls have worked, .doc has not (not even an option to open in iBooks appears).
    I have just completed a full factory restore (not from backup) and the problem persists. Any suggestions on how to view pdfs (even in quicklook again) would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Actually it is more likely an Office 2000 issue. First, I would like to know if you can open JPG or PDF file by saving them to Desktop from Outlook.
    If they can be accessed on Desktop but not inside an email as attachments, it is an Outlook issue. Is there any error occurs when trying to open that attachment? Please let us know. 
    In-case it is actually being blocked, please try to change the security level per following article:
    You may receive an "Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments" message in Outlook
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/829982/en-us
    If they cannot be accessed on Desktop either, please make sure you have the proper application to access them such as Adobe Reader for PDF. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
