I did install Freehand Mx 11 on a Mac Mini Leopard despite all the comments and it works perfectly, exports PDF fine.

Have no problem at all.

…. Doy la orden de impresión desde Freehand MX (v11.0) y nada… No imprime…. La solución ¡Convertir el archivo a PDF!…. o convertir los textos a PAT. En realidad no entiendo nada sobre una solución práctica… Dios les bendiga…

Same deal here, cannot print to pdf. Only alternative I’ve found is to rip all the fonts in the document to paths and export as a Macintosh eps…and then distill the eps’s.

For anyone having problems with fonts when printing Freehand in Leopard…make sure your fonts are in the library/fonts folder and not in the user/library/fonts folder.

Warning…rant ahead!

You are right, Adobe doesn’t give a fart about their customers. They keep their programmers employed by having them continually come up with gimmicky shit to add to their software (i.e. Illustrator). Eventually they will have big bloaty useless messes like Quark…and then, since they are the big software monopolizers that they are, we’ll really be screwed.

Yes, printing to pdf seems to be troublesome, for some reason It doesn’t work?

Hi Charlie,
I am about to instal Leopard Mac OSX 10.5.4 into my MacBook Pro running on Mac OSX 10.4.11. My main concern is, will it work with Freehand version 10CT traditional chinese edition. From what you mentioned, you have no problem at all running Freehand ver 10, any problem printing to pdf?
Thanks
Jack
