Export my Freehand Document

I am trying to export a brochure as a jpg because I need to
keep the file size down. But my computer keeps giving me the
message that it does not have enough memory to do it- I even tried
the computer at work, but same message. I also tried exporting as a
pdf, even though the file would be too big, and got a message about
it not being able to exactly reproduce the document b/c it contains
paths with more than 5000 pts.
I am pretty new to freehand and I am thinking that perhaps I
imported things from fireworks at sizes too large. I tried to match
the pixel size that I would need, but I would often still have to
enlarge things by 400%.

How big is too big?
JPEG is a good format for photographs but a very poor file
format for a
brochure that contains text. Does the brochure contain text?
If so you
should be using a vector format such as PDF or EPS.
Are you able to export as EPS? A commercial printer should be
able to take
an EPS file.
Which version of FHMX are you using? There was a bug in FHMX
11.0 related to
objects over 5000 points. Updating to FHMX 11.0.2 should
improve that issue.
Does the document contain large raster images or extensive
use of Raster
Effects? Have you used many Lens Fills, complex blends or
extruded objects?
Without seeing the file, it's hard to know where the problem
lies. Does your
document contain single vector objects that have many points,
such as that
produced by auto-tracing? If so, have you tried to simplify
paths using the
Simplify Xtra? Can you break complex objects into several
parts?

Exporting from Freehand

I work at a printing company, and we're constantly having problems getting Freehand files to rip properly. I've been able to get around this problem by exporting the Freehand files to Illustrator format, but this always causes problems with Freehand created gradients or effects (gradients become stepped out and need to be recreated most of the time).
Does anyone know of a better way to get around this issue?

Heh. I predicted that if I gave FreeHand advice on the Illustrator forum, then a certain forum habitué would get himself all in a lather. :)
The number of steps in a gradient is controlled by FreeHand's 'Printer Resolution' set in the Document panel.
FreeHand's RGB Raster Effects are designed for web images but not for press output. They do not always convert to CMYK as expected. If you must use them, then make sure File>Document Settings> Raster Effects Settings are high enough for print output, and the CMYK checkbox is checked. (Default setting is 72 ppi, suitable for web images, but not print.)
In FreeHand MX under Mac OX 10.5, there are some known issues when sending Postscript fonts to Postscript printers. One workaround is to print to a Postscript file formatted for the printer, and then drop that file into the print queue window. Alternately, you could duplicate the file, convert text to outlines, and then print.
If you require Separations Preview, print from FreeHand to a Postscript file. Then use Acrobat Pro/Distiller with 'Press Quality' settings to create a PDF. Print from Acrobat Pro.

File is not a valid freehand document

Hi
I need help! I am a Freehand 9 user using Window 200, 256MB
Ram. At times i have a problem of not being able to open the
freehand file that i save. The error code is "Could not convert the
document because the file is not a valid freehand document ".
I have tried using Freehand MX to open but the same error
code appear too.
Was the file corrupted ? How can i prevent this thing again?
Cheers
Bwlim

In Windows I believe you have to have the 3 letter extension
on the end for it to be recognized?
For Freehand 9 that would be .fh9
Other than that, the document may be corrupt.

Exporting large PDF document in inDesign

I'm exporting a large file (3m in length x 1.2m in width) in inDesign to PDF for print and the document just will not save, or if it does, only half the document actually saves. Help please!

I don't think so. A PDF can have several hundrets of miles now.

Your file may be larger than the maximum dimensions for a PDF (not sure what they are, currently). Try working at half-size in ID and see if it makes a difference.

Export to Word document comment timestamps

Export to Word document from Pages 4.x causes timestamps for all comments to update to time of export. Is there a way to change that behavior?

Jesse,
That's a pain, isn't it?
When the comment autofills the timestamp, backspace it out of the comment and replace with your plain text version of the current date and time. That should put a stop the the updates.

How do I export a scanned document to Word?

How do I export a scanned document to Word?

Use your OS's file browser/explorer to sort the files (in the folder) by date.
Rename each. Top down put a numeric prefix in place.
000-filename
001-filename
nnn-filename
Open Acrobat and use the "Combine" feature to combine the files into a single PDF.
An option available with the Combine feature is to have Bookmarks used. Tick this choice.
The single, new PDF is created. Save it.
Open this PDF file's Bookmark pane. There'll be a bookmark for each of the files.
The order of Bookmarks and the order of PDF pages reflects the order you set when you renamed the source files (a date sort).
Note that you could manually position the order of files to be combined in the Combine dialog.
I find it easier and quicker to add the prefix to the source files.
Using Acrobat XI you'd process the new, single PDF through OCR.
As some of the PDF pages already have renderable text they cannot undergo OCR.
Acrobat will alert you of this when it comes to the first of such pages.
Just tick the box in the lower left. This tells Acrobat to ignore any upcoming pages that cannot be OCRd and to keep on truck'n to OCR the page that hold the scanned image.
Now, use Acrobat XI to export the the PDF to the Word file you want.
(File :: Save As Other :: <make the desired choice> )
Do not expect a 1:1 export. You have a diverse collection of source files.
While you might get 1:1 if ALL the PDFs combined were well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant with 14.8 of ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1) you don't have that.
So --- To be expected — cleanup of the content in the Word file.
Be well...

I am exporting a Pages document to Epub and Pages is compressing my jpg images. How do I keep the original jpg size during the export to epub process?

I am exporting a Pages document to Epub and Pages is compressing my jpg images (I think to 72 dpi from original 600 dpi).
How do I keep the original jpg size during the export to epub process?

We are still trying learn how to use Pages to build ePub documents with high resolution graphics that will expand clearly when they are tapped. Very large screen shots are my example here.

Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

Hi ceop,
It seems earlier you were able to use it.
It is not clear why you are facing this issue now.
You can try it with another pdf file,It might be possible that there is some issue with your pdf file.

I exported a pages document to word, but was not able to edit the new word document.

i exported a pages document to word, but was not able to edit the new word document.

I have a OSX IMAC Version 10.8.5. I got pages at the same time I purchased this computer. I use a document to write all my passwords. Seems like when I E-mail myself the document from pages, I have not been able to type in the document, it acts like it is locked. I checked all the "lock" and "unlock" fields, and none of them were locked. I notice the document says PDF. How do I correct this? Seems like I've tried everything. If you can help, that would be great!

Try adding .epub to the end of the name.
I assume you are aware that to open an .epub file you need a special app, not TextEdit or Pages, right?

Old fh7 files not valid Freehand documents

Does anyone know why some of my old FH7 files cannot open in either of versions 7, 9 or 11?
The error message tells me that they are not valid Freehand documents.
I already have at least a dozen of these, with potentially dozens more.
As i have no idea whats contained in these, I can't even re-create if necessary.

Sorry Judy,
No luck I'm afraid. I've tried opening these old files in a trial
version of the new Illustrator
but to no avail. I think you're right when you say they may have been
saved to a bad disk at some stage.
I know our storage systems have changed a few times over the years since
these files were last accessed.
I will try seeing how far our backup tapes go back before finally giving
up I think.
thanks for your suggestions though.

When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

The why it isn't working can be a number of reasons. While I never have exported an EPS out of ID before, I just tried it and it worked fine.
What "graphics" are missing? I used bitmaps, native drawn ID vector, lines and a placed EPS file. Came into AI as an opened EPS fine.
Links up to date? For items not hitting the EPS, are they on a layer set to non-printing?
In the export dialog,General tab, PostScript Level 3? Data format set to ASCII? On the Advanced tab, Send Data set to All? OPI off?
