In between a rock...

Post by briancouture »

I'm searching for the most compatible software versions of Freehand, Photoshop and Distiller for an iMac G5/PowerPC with OS X 10.5.8.

Primarily use Freehand for vector layout, import Photoshop .tif images and print to Distiller to create a print quality .pdf.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Incidentally, I've run a few tests and have success creating a print quality PDF, here's what I'm using and what I did. Hope this helps. Long live Freehand and all of the users.

• iMac G5 Power PC
• OS X 10.5.8
• Freehand MX 11.0 Build 416
• Photoshop CS4 11.0.2
• Acrobat Distiller 9.4.0

• Create a new Freehand document
• Import Photoshop (.eps)* files into Freehand
• Convert all fonts to paths
• Print the document and save as a PostScript file (.ps)
• Drag and drop the (.ps) file to Distiller
• Create a Print Quality (.pdf)
