Re: Creating PDF files from FreeHand

Klaus, are you using the "Save as Adobe PDF" option from FreeHand? Are you not getting any problems with your fonts becoming jagged/bitmapped? I am going mad because there are certain files that I cannot successfully make a PDF from ... if the file contains a font that is converted to path...

Re: Creating PDF files from FreeHand

Just tried the "save as PDF-X" and that also doesn't work. The note from Adobe explains the fact that they've removed the PPD and that you should now use the workflow "Save as Adobe PDF" but that option does not work with all my fonts. They also mention that you can reinstall the...

Creating PDF files from FreeHand

I have just upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro to version 9.4.2 and the Adobe PPD is no longer working in order to create postscript files which then go through Distiller. I have posted this problem on the Adobe forum and have been told that the PPD is no longer in use and that you must go Print > Save a...
