Freehand discontinued?

Hi all
I read an interview in a design magazine with an Adobe
executive. Basically what he sayed is that Freehand will be
supported but not be developped further on. In other words, there
will be no Universal version. In other words, the day I will buy to
an Intel Mac, Freehand dies for me.
In other words, every Freehand will need to switch over to
Illustrator. Which would be fine with me, but as a 12+ years
Freehand user (I used Illustrator for about 3 years before that),
this will be a hard move.
I'm sure Illustrator offers functions that I don't find in
Freehand. I'm looking forward to discover them. On the other hand,
I am sure I will miss some great features that I use regularly in
Freehand, such as:
- The possibility to generate several pages in one documents,
even with different sizes (i.e. I can create letterhead, business
cards, envelopes, compliment slips etc. for one client in the same
doc, and every page comes with the right dimensions)
- creating rectancles with rounded edges: different radiuses
on every single corner. Illustrator only offers the option of using
the same radius on all 4 corners.
- the "transform" command, that also offers a "copy" function
(ie. I can copy elements while transforming them)
- easier handling of guides: I hate the fact that I have to
unlock guides in Illustrator in order to move them: Freehand offers
a separate layer for guides which allows me to lock that layer, if
I want the guides to be locked.
Does anyone know if there are plans at Adobe to implement
some of those great features into Illustrator, now that we know
that Freehand will slowly die?

No one knows that. All we can do is guess.
My guess is, no, they don't have any ambitions to do that.
For two reasons:
1) they don't have to (AI is pretty much the only viable
option for
pro-designers to switch to)
2) some features like multiple-pages exist in other products
that want you
to buy (like InDesign)

Win Freehand can't create PDFs correctly

Any help with the problem below would be much appreciated.
We recently upgraded to Freehand MX (11.0.2) running on 3
Windows (XP) machines but we can't create a pdf file where the
fonts are included correctly using the print to pdf option.
Freehand will also not produce a PS file for printing correctly as
the fonts are also not being included. We have checked all of the
include font options but still they do not appear to be included in
the file. Also, copy and pasting from the created pdf file creates
gibberish.
Within the pdf's document preferences the fonts show up as:
Gen.Frutiger-45-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: Type 1
Encoding: Custom
Within the actual document page the font appears to have been
substituted with an equivalent. Outputting to an EPS also has the
same problem. And, the problem also occurs with all fonts. Freehand
9 still works OK.
So far all Adobe have said is that Freehand just doesn't
work: 'Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this as
Freehand is a discontinued product and the compatability between
Freehand and Acrobat will not be updated'.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be much
appreciated as at the moment Freehand MX is just unusable and
Adobe's opinion seems to be so what.
Thanks in anticipation

I have had the same problem in the past. In the end I got a
pro to sort it out. It would be great get some advice if the
problem occurs again.

How to "paste inside" like in Freehand

In Freehand you cut paste inside (cut a larger object and paste it inside of a smaller object). How do you do this in Illustator?
Thanks!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
It seems as if you haven't been an Illustrator user from the beginning, you're left in the dust.
Many who have been Illustrator users from the beginning have been left in the dust ever since--and just don't know it. ;-)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I really hope Adobe lets someone who is capable and cares to take the reigns of Freehand and resurrect the best drawing program ever!
Gag me.
Mainstream 2D vector drawing was set back a decade when FreeHand's competitive development was discontinued. But I'm not interested in returning to 10 years ago, even though in many important ways doing so would still leapfrog Illustrator's current functionality.
In other words, I'm not interested in a ressurrection of FreeHand per se. FreeHand had its problems, too, albeit far less than Illustrator. For example: Tell me how to, in FreeHand, call for a straight single-segment path in terms of length and angle. Tell me how to specify a movement in terms of direction and distance. That's pretty basic stuff, wouldn't you say?
The fact is, mainstream 2D vector drawing is stagnant and has been for many years. There is no mainstream 2D vector drawing progam I would call no-nonsense, full-featured, industrial-strength. There should be--and should have been long before now--but there isn't. The whole category is cheezy grade-school crap. This is largely due to Illustrator's market dominance. But the blame for "market dominance" falls to the addicted-to-mediocrity market, not to the vendor. If users don't demand better, they won't get it.
As for the clipping path thing: The largest problem (display of masked portion) has at long last been corrected. It took decades for this to occur. The stupid and backward behavior of stripping the clipping path of its appearance still needs to be reversed. But there are many similarly inefficient, inelegant, cumbersome and tedious behaviors in AI. Given AI's development history, how many decades will it take to correct them all?
I don't have that much time. A new-from-the-ground-up, truly industrial-strength (truly "professional") 2D drawing program is sorely needed to re-invigorate this important graphics segment.

FreeHand users turn to StageStack!

Why is ADOBE killing off FreeHand?
The best design software ever created.
They say it will no longer run on OSX Mountain Lion?
'Stagestack' will be taking over if you don't listen the established design comunity.
I for one will be using it.
Noel

I tried Stagestack before, and found it extremely limited. And seeing its history, I doubt it will ever become a true Freehand alternative.
There are other alternatives: Xara Designer Pro, or Canvas 15 (yes, Canvas still exists). Even Inkscape begins to look quite good nowadays.
I've thought about this as well. A true FreeHand alternative seems to come down to what users consider important in their work. Since FreeHand was a drawing application and a page layout and a flash animator, It's hard to imagine all these functions being combined into a single app although Xara Designer looks that way.
GRAVIT/Stagestack is now an online app that uses FreeHand's toolset but with focus on print and web output. I haven't tried it except for an early demo so I look forward to the beta. IllustratorCC has acquired several new FreeHand features lately. Their toolset is still non-intuitive to a FreeHand-user and, for me, causes more confusion from old habits. That is why I still do my drawing in FreeHand before exporting to AICC for effects and output. And I use InDesign in ways I once used FreeHand's page layout feature. Since Adobe has recently discontinued all FreeHand sales, support and webpages, this now leaves FH in the hands of the community; which is a good thing and relieves Adobe of a program it never truly wanted anyway.
Inkscape and the open source community have been interesting lately. The LibreOffice segment has built a FreeHand file importer into their Draw unit which also extends into Inkscape. They were asking the community for more FH-files to test over the last few months. Even the Inkscape Mac builds are moving along nicely; no more X11. What if an Inkscape fork—that mimics FreeHand tools and appearance—could be a viable alternative? I think that is what longtime users want; a familiar environment where they know it will function like FreeHand and look like FreeHand, except with a promise of a future.
For now, FreeHand can be run in virtualization on Windows and Mac but that holds it at its last stage of development from 2004. This is a pivotal time for having something new happen.

Adobe, Why doesn't the download link for FreeHand work???!!!!!!

Right! I tried the trial download links and nothing happens: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en&product=freehand
The download links are working for other discontinued programs like Pagemaker and GoLive but I see that this page officially made FreeHand no longer for purchase.

Adobe Officially Killed Freehand

From the french web site
Macbidouille :
“Frédéric has sent us an information directly
from Adobe Live to report a fleshly released information from Adobe
Marketing Director: Adobe has officially decided to discontinue
Freehand.”
I hope to get more details on that terrific news.

Here's the Bablefish translation:
Adobe: "Freehand is offered further as condition alone
product"
"Adobe decided officially to develop Freehand not further",
writes the
French colleagues of Macbidouille and appoints themselves to
the
statement marketing of a manager, whose name is not called.
But the
message is a duck. "that is not correct", disclaims Alexander
Hopstein,
PR manager for central and Eastern Europe with Adobe the
message
opposite macnews.de. Also after the Macromedia assumption
develop
further the software enterprise the complete Portfolio.
"Freehand is
offered further as condition alone product", so Hopstein on
our request.
Already Macromedia took Freehand out of the Studio package
and follows
as individual application offered, this way now also Adobe.
He still
announced in this connection for this year maintenance
release for the
vector-oriented indication program.

More About The FreeHand/GoLive Rumors

Check out the latest info on Mordy's blog. It explains
further about the rumors we heard about FreeHand and GoLive last
week.
http://rwillustrator.blogspot.com/

Sounds very ignorant to discontinue Freehand. Like when Apple
grew into financial troubles and brought back Steve Jobs who could
see things as they are. Maybe he should put a bid on Adobe
, or at least Freehand so they can maintain
Macintosh sales for graphic design. Illustrator is just a joke in
comparison, eventhough FH MX has got some annoying bugs...

LONG TIME FREEHAND USER, I HAVE A QUESTION

Hey gang, Like the post says I'm a loooong time FreeHand user and I love it and I'm finally starting to realize that it may be gone for good (wipes tear away) Recently I've been trying to learn Illustrator and there are certainly things I like (transparancies, LivePaint, Shape Builder tool, Variable Width tool) There are things I like way better in FreeHand (live manipulation of stars and polygons, simpler tools for beizer curves, 3D effects are live and don't require a secondary window, type on a path is much easier) But I'm not trying to start a "which is better" fight. I do have a question about pdf export from Illustrator though:
Recently I had to send a client a pdf for review. It had 2 placed high rez jpegs in it. I exported it from Illustrator and it ended up being 25MB. Way too large for me to email. So I opened the same file in FreeHand and exported to pdf and it was under 3MB. My FreeHand files have always been much smaller than my Illustrator files, but this big of a difference almost makes me thing I'm doing something wrong. How can I get my pdf's exported from Illustrator to be a smaller file size comparable to my FreeHand pdf's?
Thanks again!

There are things I like way better in FreeHand...
live manipulation of stars and polygons
Geometric primitives, otherwise known in the old days as LBOs (Lines, Boxes, Ovals, but includes arcs, stars, polygons, etc.) in Illustrator have never been created as special objects with live geometric parameters (corner radius, number of points/sides, angular sweep, etc.) as they are in just about every other program on the planet. In Illustrator, they are just created as lame ordinary paths. One of many very very basic standard functions taken for granted everywhere except in Illustrator.
...simpler tools for beizer curves...
More precisely, the archaic and cumbersome interface Illustrator applies to selection (in general, not just paths) in combination with its unnecessarily tedious multi-tool routines for manipulating Bezier paths, in combination with its inconsistent interface display logic. FreeHand's interface for this remains best-of-class. Illustrator's remains worst-of-class. Everything else is somewhere in between.
…3D effects are live and don't require a secondary window…
Illustrator's 3D Effect is an entirely different featue from FreeHand's 3D Extrude. Illustrator's 3D Effect actually calculates 3D geometry; it builds an actual 3D model. FreeHand's 3D Extrude is an arguably clever, but strictly 2D "perspective" kind of construction. There is no actual 3D involved in FreeHand's 3D Extrude feature.
As for the modal dialog: Illustrator is chock full of them. One of the dead giveaways of an archaic, outdated program. So 1980s. But the one in 3D Effect arguably makes sense, because 3D Effect is a plug-in which actually is a subset of the functionality of an entirely separate and discontinued program (Adobe Dimensions).
…type on a path is much easier…
Just wait. That's just the tip of the Illustrator text-handling iceberg.
…a pdf…ended up being 25MB.
This is all part of a mostly smoke-and-mirrors marketing ploy that Adobe (owner of Illustrator, PostScript, and creator of PDF) perpetrated upon the industry a decade or so ago in which it proudly proclaimed "PDF is now Illustrator's native format!"
It's a semantics game in which Adobe basically tries to redefine commonly-understood terms like "native" and "file format." In fact, only the basic constructs of Illustrator objects are understood by PDF. For practical purposes, all the former ballyhoo about 'Illustrator and PDF being the same thing' boils down to this:
By default, when you save an Illustrator file, Illustrator writes an entirely separate version of the content as PDF and "tucks it away" inside the resulting file. That's one large chunk of what makes Illustrator's files look so inappropriately large. Other Adobe programs read the PDF content and ignore the actual AI-native content. So, for example, InDesign's interface scheme pretends that it can place an Illustrator file. It's really just placing the PDF content that is tucked away inside an Illustrator file. Save that "very same AI file" with the PDF Compatibility option turned off, though, and InDesign will not be able to place it.
Inversely, Illustrators interface scheme now pretends that it can Save a PDF as opposed to the normally-understood meaning of exporting a PDF. All this means is that by default, Illustrator writes into the resulting PDF an entirely separate version of the content as Illustrator native objects and "tucks it away" inside the resulting file. So again, you end up with an absurdly bloated PDF. Programs other than Illustrator read the PDF content and ignore the actual AI-native content. Save that "very same PDF file" with the Maintain Illustrator Editability option turned off, though, and when you open it again later with Illustrator, you'll find that everything has been dumbed-down to the simpler and more basic constructs that PDF actually handles, contained in a bunch of (often nested) clipping paths. In commonly-understood language, you have not "opened" that PDF; you've imported it.
It's similar to what Macromedia did with PNG and Fireworks. Fireworks doesn't even give its native files a unique file extension. It's "just" PNG. But in commonly-undertood terms, it's not just PNG. The PNG format was written to accommodate a mechanism by which a program that writes the PNG can "tuck away" or "comment out" or "embed" anything its own content. So when Macromedia built Fireworks it just built it to write all its own native stuff (for example, its vector paths) in that "embedded" region of the file, and still save the file as a PNG. So—PNG being the raster image format that it really is—someone uses a raster program (Photoshop, etc.) to open a PNG that some unsuspecting Fireworks user created thinking it's a vector/raster metaformat (after all, PNG is Fireworks's "native" format, right?). The Photoshop user makes some minor edit and saves the PNG. The Fireworks user opens the file and wonders where all his Fireworks-native vector objects went.
Adobe, of course, acquired Macromedia, discontinued the vector program with which it could never functionally compete, and kept the web-centric drawing/painting program Fireworks. But of course Fireworks didn't handle the smoke-and-mirrors the way Adobe did with Illustrator. So now, in the most recent versions of Photoshop, you receive an alert when you open a PNG that says something like "Contains Fireworks content that will be lost when you Save this file." Real elegant, huh?
Such nonsense and confusion is what results when programmers are pushed by marketing to over-insulate the click-and-drag users from what is really going on.

Possible to re-add discontinued app (.ipa) to iTunes?

This requires some introductory info:
Many months ago, an iPad app that I use regularly was removed from the App Store. It continues to function perfectly well, but yesterday, it had trouble connecting to its servers.
Last week, after installing iOS 7, I'd had a similar problem with the YouTube app: It would launch, but never connect. I solved that problem by deleting and re-downloading the YouTube app. So, yesterday, I did the same with the aforementioned app -- forgetting that it had been removed from the App Store and couldn't be downloaded again.
The developer of said app also has an iphone version, which I run on my iphone. But they've never replaced the iPad app that was removed from the store, which is why I've been running the old version.
Finally, in an attempt to manage the 1,100+ apps that sit in iTunes, I routinely go through and delete apps I don't need (or don't think I need). Since the icons of the aforementioned iPhone and (discontinued) iPad app were identical, at some point I deleted the iPad app from iTunes, not remembering, at the time. my reason for keeping the older one.
The good news:
Using Time Machine, I was able to roll back, retrieve the deleted iPad app, and restore it to iTunes' Mobile Apps Folder.
The bad news:
I thought restarting iTunes would cause it to "see" the previously purchased app that was reintroduced to the folder, but it does not. It appears that once you delete an app from iTunes (and move it to the trash, versus choosing the "keep in my library" option), iTunes completely severs all ties to that app -- even though you purchased it legitimately. I thought apps would be "discovered" at launch, just as songs you add to the iTunes folder are "discovered."
Short of using Time Machine to replace the entire iTunes folder (which would be an epic nightmare) is there any way to get iTunes to "see" the app I retrieved? Is there one document, perhaps, that iTunes uses as it's app "registry" that I could restore via Time Machine, in order to "bless" that app again? Of course by rolling that document back, I'd be rolling back to a point that's *before* current apps were purchased. Many, many current apps. So, this is quite a conundrum. But I really need that app back, so I'm willing to try anything. I'm running iTunes 11.1.
Suggestions?

Syncopator, how did you retrieve the app from Time Machine? I thought it would be fairly easy to do but I'm not finding the app I need. Thanks for any light you can shine on this!
Actually, it is easy. :-)
You have to start by viewing the folder that contained the item you want to restore. (Or navigate to that folder in Time Machine.)
That folder is:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications
(The symbol "~" is shorthand for your home folder, which you can access from the sidebar in a Finder window.)
I can't provide a full tutorial on Time Machine, but you might want to see the section "Restoring Data from Time-Machine backups" on Apple's support page, here:

How to Properly Protect a Virtualized Exchange Server - Log File Discontinuity When Performing Child Partition Snapshot

I'm having problems backing up a Hyper-V virtualized Exchange 2007 server with DPM 2012. The guest has one VHD for the OS, and two pass-through volumes, one for logs and one for the databases. I have three protection groups:
System State - protects only the system state of the mail server, runs at 4AM every morning
Exchange Databases - protects the Exchange stores, 15 minute syncs with an express full at 6:30PM every day
VM - Protecting the server hosting the Exchange VM. Does an child partition snapshot backup of the Exchange server guest with an express full at 9:30PM every day
The problem I'm experiencing is that every time the VM express full completes I start receiving errors on the Exchange Database synchronizations stating that a log file discontinuity was detected. I did some poking around in the logs on the Exchange server
and sure enough, it looks like the child partition snapshot backup is causing Exchange to truncate the log files even though the logs and databases are on pass-through disks and aren't covered by the child partition snapshot.
What is the correct way to back up an entire virtualized Exchange server, system state, databases, OS drive and all?

I just created a new protection group. I added "Backup Using Child Partition Snapshot\MailServer", short-term protection using disk, and automatically create the replica over the network immediately. This new protection group contains only the child partition
snapshot backup. No Exchange backups of any kind.
The replica creation begins. Soon after, the following events show up in the Application log:
=================================

Computer:      PLYMAIL.mcquay.com
Description:
Information Store (3572) Shadow copy instance 2051 starting. This will be a Full shadow copy.
=================================
The events continue on, basically snapshotting all of Exchange. From the DPM side, the total amount of data transferred tells me that even though Exhange is trunctating its logs, nothing is actually being sent to the DPM server. So this snapshot operation
seems to be superfluous. ~30 minutes later, when my regularly scheduled Exchange job runs, it fails because of a log file discontinuity.
So, in this case at least, a Hyper-V snapshot backup is definitely causing Exchange to truncate the log files. What can I look at to figure out why this is happening?

Imessage is buggy, i can login to it but does discontinues to verify and goes back to the login page,

The problem with imessage with me and same thing too for my facetime, i can login but discontinues to verify and goes back to the login page. This is the second time where imessage is not working, the first time was "Unable to verify email" error, but i manage to solve it by just restarting my ipod. The second time, restart doesn't solve the issue, i wonder the iMessage app is pretty buggy, or servers are busy etc. I need help on this, does anyone has the same problem?

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2

Working on a Mac in OSX 10.4.11, I was able to select and copy objects in an open Illustrator CS2 file and paste them into an open FreeHand 11.0.2 file, where they would be fully editable. After migrating to OSX 10.6.2 and upgrading to CS3, this no longer works - the objects selected and copied from Illustrator either do not appear (only corner indicators are visible) or a pale version appears as an uneditable low-rez image with funny colors....
Because there are so many missing features in Illustrator, it's important for me to be able to work back and forth between the two apps. Has anyone been able to achieve this (formerly) simple interactivity?

I got the following post from Danny Haas:
If you go to Edit>Special>Paste Special and then select AI/EPS from the list
it should paste just fine. It works well for me.
Worked for me too, although text was not imported as editable text. To do
that had to special paste the text separately as unformatted text, and then
reformat in FH.

I skipped AICS3, but now use AICS4 for some tasks.
The only solution I've found is to save the AI CS4 file as AI 8, open that
in FHMX and copy from there.

Old version of FreeHand 5

I had a working version of FreeHand 5 on my XP machine, which I have used to do a great deal of work, mostly newsletters. It has a lot of features which seem to be missing in the MX versions. It stopped working when my backup disk failed. I need a new activation number. I called about it several months ago, but I couldn't find the actual disk. so they couldn't give me the code. Now, I have the disk, and the documentation files, but I cannot contact Adobe again by telephone.
