- =====================================
- 1. INSTALLING UNDER AN ALTERNATIVE SHELL
- =====================================
- If you install Aldus FreeHand while
- running a shell other than Program Manager
- (such as Norton Desktop), you may need to
- create an Aldus group and program icons
- for Aldus FreeHand, the online tutorial
- ("Learning Aldus FreeHand"), and the Aldus
- Setup program. Refer to your shell program
- documentation for instructions on creating
- groups and program icons. The files you
- use to create the program icons and their
- locations (if you install using the
- default installation options) are:
- \FH3IE\FH3.EXE Aldus FreeHand
- \FH3IE\FH3LIB\FHSTUTIN.TBK online tutorial
- \ALDUS\UKENGLSH\SETUP\ALDSETUP.EXE Aldus Setup
-
- =====================================
- 2. RECOMMENDED MEMORY (RAM)
- =====================================
- The minimum configuration for running
- Aldus FreeHand is an 80286-based computer
- with 2 MB of RAM (random access memory).
- However, Windows and Aldus FreeHand will
- run better if your computer has more
- memory. If your computer has 2 MB of RAM,
- try to maximise the amount of free memory
- in Windows using the suggestions in "Out-
- of-memory problems" in Appendix A of the
- "Aldus FreeHand User Manual." In addition,
- consider installing more RAM in your
- computer.
-
- =====================================
- 3. ONLINE TUTORIAL
- =====================================
- To run both the Aldus FreeHand online
- tutorial and Aldus FreeHand
- simultaneously, Windows must have at least
- 1600K of free memory. To check the amount
- of free memory, choose "About Program
- Manager..." from the Program Manager Help
- menu. If Windows has less than 1600K of
- free memory, you can free additional
- memory by closing other programs (if any
- are running). Otherwise, you may not be
- able to launch Aldus FreeHand by clicking
- the "Practice" button in the tutorial
- window.
-
- If you are using a 24-bit colour monitor at
- a resolution greater than 800 by 600, you
- may notice that the tutorial runs slowly.
- If you encounter this problem, you may be
- able to speed up the tutorial by
- configuring Windows (using Windows Setup)
- to run using a lower resolution or display
- fewer colours (256 or fewer). (You may need
- to install a different screen driver:
- refer to your monitor and video card
- manufacturer's instructions for more
- information.)
-
- Similarly, if you are using a 24-bit colour
- monitor at a resolution greater than 800
- by 600, the screen may appear to go blank
- when you launch the tutorial. If you
- encounter this problem, press Alt + F4 to
- close the tutorial. Then, close other
- Windows programs to free memory. If the
- screen is still blank when you restart the
- tutorial, you need to configure Windows to
- run at a lower resolution or display fewer
- colours.
-
- =====================================
- 4. CORRECTIONS TO THE PRINTED
- DOCUMENTATION
- =====================================
- INFORMATION BAR DISPLAY
- Pages 398-399 of the "Aldus FreeHand User
- Manual" incorrectly state that Aldus
- FreeHand displays a delta symbol
- (triangle) in the information bar to
- indicate the amount of change in a value.
- Instead, the word "delta" appears when the
- change is in letter space, word space, or
- leading (for example, "delta word space");
- and the letter "d" appears when the change
- is in horizontal or vertical distance
- (indicated by "dh" or "dv").
-
- WRAPPING A TEXT BLOCK
- Pages 111-115 of the "Aldus FreeHand User
- Manual" incorrectly state that clicking on
- the illustration page with the text tool
- starts an unwrapped text block. Instead,
- either clicking or dragging on the
- illustration page starts a wrapped text
- block. To create an unwrapped text block,
- first create a wrapped text block. Then,
- double-click the text block using the
- pointer tool, and uncheck the "Autowrap"
- check box in the "Text" window. (Centre-
- aligned text is always unwrapped.)
-
- PC PAINT (PIC) FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED
- Chapter 28 of the "Aldus FreeHand User
- Manual" incorrectly states that Aldus
- FreeHand imports PC Paint (PIC) files.
- Aldus FreeHand does not import files in
- this format.
-
- TABLE EDITOR (TBL) FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED
- Chapter 28 of the "Aldus FreeHand User
- Manual" incorrectly states that Aldus
- FreeHand imports Table Editor (TBL) files.
- Aldus FreeHand does not import files in
- this format but does import Table Editor
- files exported in Windows metafile (.WMF)
- format. (Choose "Export..." from the Table
- Editor File menu.)
-
- VIDEOSHOW NAPLPS (PIC) FORMAT NOT
- SUPPORTED
- Chapter 28 of the "Aldus FreeHand User
- Manual" incorrectly states that Aldus
- FreeHand imports VideoShow NAPLPS (PIC)
- files. Aldus FreeHand does not import
- files in this format.
-
- EXPORTING A TIFF IMAGE
- Page 325 of the "Aldus FreeHand User
- Manual" incorrectly states that Aldus
- FreeHand exports 1-bit (black-and-white)
- TIFF images (when you select "TIFF image"
- from the "Format" drop-down list box in
- the "Export" dialog box) only at a
- resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi).
- Instead, Aldus FreeHand exports TIFF
- images at the resolution specified for the
- "Target printer resolution" option in the
- "Document setup" dialog box. (Choose
- "Document setup..." from the File menu.)
- You can select a resolution from the
- "Target printer resolution" drop-down list
- box or type any resolution between 72 and
- 600 dpi. (Because patterned fills are
- designed to be printed at 72 dpi, if you
- export an illustration containing
- patterned fills at a resolution higher
- than 72 dpi, the fill patterns will become
- smaller. If you encounter this problem,
- try creating tiled fills instead.)
-
- IMPORTANT: Be sure to change the "Target
- printer resolution" setting back to the
- resolution of the target printer after you
- export your illustration, so Aldus
- FreeHand will use the optimised screen
- rules and angles for your target printer
- when you print the illustration.
-
- REMOVING A POINT FROM A PATH
- Page 92 of the Aldus FreeHand User Manual
- incorrectly states that you can use the
- Delete key to delete a selected point on a
- path. Pressing Delete removes the entire
- path from your illustration. (You can
- restore the path by immediately choosing
- "Undo" from the Edit menu.)
-
- NO "UNKNOWN" FORMAT OPTION IN "PLACE
- DOCUMENT" DIALOG BOX
- Page 296 of the "Aldus FreeHand User Manual"
- incorrectly states that you can select
- "Unknown" from the "Format" drop-down list
- box to display all the files in the selected
- directory regardless of format. "Unknown" is
- not an option in the "Place document" dialog
- box. If the file you want to place does not
- have one of the file extensions listed in
- the "Format" drop-down list box, follow the
- instructions in the first paragraph on page
- 296 of the user manual.
-
- =====================================
- 5. NUMBER OF OPEN ILLUSTRATIONS ALLOWED
- =====================================
- Aldus FreeHand may have up to 16
- illustrations open simultaneously,
- depending on the amount of memory
- available in Windows.
-
- =====================================
- 6. ADOBE TYPE MANAGER COMPATIBILITY
- =====================================
- Aldus FreeHand is compatible with Adobe
- Type Manager (ATM) version 1.15 or later.
- Do not use earlier versions of ATM with
- Aldus FreeHand.
-
- =====================================
- 7. COPYING A BITMAPPED IMAGE TO WINDOWS
- PAINTBRUSH
- =====================================
- Although you can copy and paste bitmapped
- images from Windows Paintbrush into Aldus
- FreeHand, you cannot subsequently paste
- the image from Aldus FreeHand back into
- Paintbrush. This problem occurs because
- Paintbrush does not paste graphics in
- Windows metafile (WMF) format, which is
- the format Aldus FreeHand copies to the
- Windows Clipboard.
-
- =====================================
- 8. COPYING TILED FILLS BETWEEN PROGRAMS
- =====================================
- When you paste elements containing tiled
- fills and the tiles contain radial fills,
- the radial fills may be lost when you
- paste the elements into another Windows
- program. If you encounter this problem,
- try exporting the tile-filled elements in
- EPS format (if you will eventually print
- the illustration on a PostScript printer)
- and then importing the resulting file into
- the other program.
-
- =====================================
- 9. OPENING A COMPLEX ILLUSTRATION
- =====================================
- If you have extremely complex files (files
- with more than 16,000 elements on a single
- layer) that were created in Aldus FreeHand
- version 3.x for Apple Macintosh computers,
- you may encounter problems opening those
- files in Aldus FreeHand version 3.0 for
- Microsoft Windows. Try solving such
- problems by grouping elements or moving
- them to different layers in Aldus FreeHand
- for the Macintosh. Aldus FreeHand for
- Windows can create or open files with as
- many as 16,000 elements or groups on a
- layer.
-
- =====================================
- 10. TRANSFERRING A FILE TO ALDUS FREEHAND
- 3.0 FOR MACINTOSH
- =====================================
- Before you open an Aldus FreeHand for
- Windows illustration file in Aldus
- FreeHand 3.0 for Apple Macintosh
- computers, you must use a file utility
- (such as DiskTop from CE Software, Inc.)
- to set the file type and creator on your
- Macintosh. Set the type and creator as
- follows:
- FHD3 type
- FHA3 creator
-
- NOTE: You do not need to set the file type
- and creator if you are using version 3.1
- or higher of Aldus FreeHand for Macintosh,
- which recognises files created in Aldus
- FreeHand for Windows.
-
- =====================================
- 11. PUBLISH AND SUBSCRIBE
- =====================================
- Because of inherent differences in
- Macintosh and IBM-compatible file formats,
- Aldus FreeHand for Windows does not
- preserve publish and subscribe information
- contained in illustrations created using
- Aldus FreeHand version 3.1 for Macintosh
- computers. If you reopen the file in Aldus
- FreeHand for the Macintosh, you will need
- to subscribe to the edition file again if
- you want Aldus FreeHand to update the
- subscriber automatically.
-
- =====================================
- 12. CMYK TIFF FORMAT SUPPORTED
- =====================================
- In addition to RGB TIFF formats (through
- version 5.0), Aldus FreeHand supports CMYK
- TIFF.
-
- =====================================
- 13. IMPORTING A WINDOWS METAFILE (WMF)
- =====================================
- Aldus FreeHand supports Windows metafiles
- in version 1.0 (the format used in Windows
- 1.x) format, version 3.0 format, and later
- formats only.
-
- When you import graphics in WMF format
- (including graphics converted to WMF from
- their original format):
- *patterned fills convert to grey fills.
- *clipping paths convert to normal paths.
- *compressed bitmaps are stripped.
- *tabs convert to spaces.
-
- In addition, lines and shading are not
- imported from Table Editor WMF files.
-
- =====================================
- 14. IMPORTING AND EXPORTING ENCAPSULATED
- POSTSCRIPT (EPS) FILES THAT CONTAIN TEXT
- =====================================
- Normally, encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
- files imported into or exported from
- Aldus FreeHand include references to
- fonts used in the graphic, but do not
- include the fonts themselves. This means
- that if any fonts in the EPS file are not
- resident on your printer, other fonts will
- be substituted in their place.
-
- There are two solutions to this problem:
-
- a) If you are exporting the EPS file
- from Aldus FreeHand AND the fonts are
- Type 1 PostScript fonts, you can check
- the new "Include Type 1 fonts in EPS"
- checkbox in the "Export" dialog box, and
- then click OK. You can then import the
- EPS file into Aldus FreeHand or another
- application and the Type 1 fonts in the
- EPS file will print correctly.
-
- b) If the EPS file was created in another
- application or the fonts are TrueType,
- Type 3, or any other non-Type 1 fonts, you
- can download the fonts to the printer
- using a font downloading utility, such as
- WinPSX.
- Alternatively, you can force Aldus
- FreeHand or another program to download a
- font automatically by using a trigger
- character. To do this, open the document
- containing the imported EPS graphic and
- format one character with each font
- used in the graphic, positioning the
- characters somewhere on the document page.
- (A space character is a good choice, since
- it will not appear on the printed document.)
- If you are printing from Aldus FreeHand or
- PageMaker, the trigger character must be
- behind the EPS graphic, since both programs
- process printed documents from back to front.
- If you are working in a word-processing or
- other program that does not have a stacking
- order, position the trigger character prior
- to the EPS graphic.
-
- NOTE: If the document containing the EPS
- graphic will be printed on a service
- bureau imagesetter, list the fonts used in
- the EPS graphic when you submit the print
- job, just as you normally would.
-
- =====================================
- 15. DESKTOP COLOUR SEPARATIONS (DCS) FORMAT
- SUPPORTED
- =====================================
- To import preseparated DCS files, select
- "DCS Desktop Colour Separations" in the
- "Format" drop-down list box in the "Place
- document" dialog box. (Choose "Place..."
- from the File menu.) Select the main DCS
- file in the "Files" list box, and then
- click "OK." Separation files must be in
- the same directory as the main DCS file.
-
- =====================================
- 16. MICROGRAFX DRAW (DRW) IMPORT
- =====================================
- Graduated and radial fills created in
- Windows Draw may lose colour information
- when imported into Aldus FreeHand. To
- correct this problem, reapply the fills in
- Aldus FreeHand.
-
- Text in DRW files may lose alignment
- specifications or other effects when
- imported into Aldus FreeHand. To correct
- this problem, reapply the specifications
- or effects to the affected text in Aldus
- FreeHand.
-
- DRW files adopt the Aldus FreeHand
- defaults for ruler, grid, and unit-of-
- measure settings. Notes attached to
- elements in the DRW file are not
- preserved.
-
- =====================================
- 17. LOTUS FREELANCE GRAPHICS (DRW) FORMAT
- IMPORT
- =====================================
- Like Micrografx Designer files, Lotus
- Freelance Graphics files have a .DRW
- filename extension by default. However,
- the file formats are different.
-
- Aldus FreeHand does not import Lotus
- Freelance Graphics files directly. To
- import Lotus Freelance Graphics files, you
- must save them in another format that
- Aldus FreeHand can import, such as CGM or
- EPS format.
-
- =====================================
- 18. IMPORTING A WMF FILE FROM COREL DRAW
- =====================================
- If you encounter problems importing WMF
- files from Corel Draw, try exporting the
- graphic from Corel Draw in AI (Illustrator
- 1.1) format instead of WMF. (Choose
- "Export..." from the Corel Draw File
- menu.)
-
- =====================================
- 19. HPGL (HEWLETT-PACKARD GRAPHICS
- LANGUAGE) FILTER
- =====================================
- If Aldus PageMaker version 4.0 for
- Microsoft Windows or Aldus Persuasion,
- version 2.0 for Microsoft Windows is
- installed on your system, you may have
- already installed a filter for importing
- HPGL files. If so, replace that filter
- with the Aldus FreeHand "HPGL Import"
- filter. (You use Aldus Setup to decompress
- and install filters.) The HPGL filter that
- comes with Aldus FreeHand is the latest
- version available. If you later reinstall
- PageMaker or Persuasion, be sure that you
- do not inadvertently reinstall the older
- filter. The older HPGL filter allows you
- to place and open HPGL files, but the
- filter may be incorrectly listed in the
- "Open document" and "Place document"
- dialog boxes as "TXT HPGL" instead of "PLT
- HPGL Import."
-
- =====================================
- 20. CREATING A COLOUR BITMAP
- =====================================
- Aldus FreeHand exports only 1-bit
- (monochrome) TIFF bitmaps. If you have
- SuperPrint 2.0, however, you can create 1-
- , 8-, or 24-bit TIFF, BMP, or TGA files
- from Aldus FreeHand illustrations by using
- the Zenographics SuperPrint Bitmap
- Superdriver. For more information, refer
- to your SuperPrint documentation.
-
- =====================================
- 21. VIDEO CARDS AND ALDUS FREEHAND VIDEO
- BUFFERS
- =====================================
- 24-bit video cards that use RAM (random-
- access memory) for video buffers, such as
- the Mona Lisa video card, may slow
- performance if the Aldus FreeHand smooth-
- draw buffers are turned on. To check or
- change this setting, select a "Smooth-
- draw" option in the "More preferences"
- dialog box (Choose "Preferences" from the
- File menu, and then click "More...")
- Depending on the amount of RAM required by
- the video card and the amount of RAM in
- your computer, the video card may prevent
- Aldus FreeHand from using RAM for smooth-
- draw buffers. This problem may become
- evident at any time, including when you
- open a new Aldus FreeHand illustration.
-
- To prevent this problem, Aldus FreeHand
- evaluates your system and sets the
- "Smooth-draw" option optimally for your
- configuration the first time you open the
- program.
-
- =====================================
- 22. TIFF IMAGE DISPLAY AND MEMORY
- =====================================
- If a TIFF image appears in your
- illustration as a box containing an "X,"
- Windows may be running low on memory. For
- suggestions about freeing memory, see
- "Out-of-memory problems" in Appendix A of
- the "Aldus FreeHand User Manual."
-
- =====================================
- 23. SPEEDING PRINTING ON A PCL PRINTER
- =====================================
- By default, Aldus FreeHand is designed to
- speed printing on PCL printers (such as
- the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet series and
- compatibles) by bypassing the procedures
- used to print downloadable or printer-
- resident PCL fonts. As a result, if you
- use these fonts in an illustration, Aldus
- FreeHand will not print the text unless
- you change this Aldus FreeHand default.
- You do this by adding a line to the
- [FreeHand3] section of the ALDUS.INI file
- (located in the \ALDUS\USENGLSH
- directory), as follows:
-
- TwoPassPCLPrinting=1
-
- When the TwoPassPCLPrinting option is
- turned on, Aldus FreeHand will print using
- your PCL fonts. Because PCL printers
- process graphics first and then text, PCL-
- format type will always print on top of
- any graphics in your illustration. (You
- can turn off this option without removing
- it from the ALDUS.INI file by setting
- TwoPassPCLPrinting=0.)
-
- If you use fonts with a type-management
- utility, such as Adobe Type Manager
- (version 1.15 or later) or Zenographics
- SuperPrint, text will always print,
- regardless of the TwoPassPCLPrinting
- setting. For more information about
- printing on PCL printers, see Chapter 36
- of the "Aldus FreeHand User Manual,"
- "Printing on non-PostScript printers."
-
- =====================================
- 24. CALIBRATING AN IMAGESETTER USING A PDX
- FILE
- =====================================
- Instructions for calibrating imagesetter
- output for accurate colour production are
- found in the online Help topic
- "Calibrating imagesetter output."
-
- =====================================
- 25. PRINTING ILLUSTRATIONS CONTAINING
- CLIPPING PATHS
- =====================================
- Because of a Windows limitation,
- illustrations that contain complex
- clipping paths (such as elements pasted
- inside other elements, elements containing
- tiled fills, and rotated bitmaps) may
- print slowly on PCL and other non-
- PostScript printers. In particular,
- clipping paths that contain complex
- elements (such as graduated fills) are
- susceptible to this limitation. You can
- speed printing by using a composite path
- as a mask (instead of pasting elements
- inside other elements) and by simplifying
- elements used in tiled fills.
-
- =====================================
- 26. OLD CALCOMP DRIVERS MAY CAUSE CRASH
- =====================================
- The correct CalComp driver versions to use
- with Aldus FreeHand are:
- CAL33OO.DRV dated 14 Jan 92
- CAL33WIN.DLL dated 29 Dec 91
-
- Older driver versions may cause Aldus
- FreeHand to crash when you try to launch
- the application. If you do not have the
- most recent drivers, contact CalComp at
- (800) 458-5888 in the U.S. Until you receive
- the new drivers, you can use Aldus FreeHand
- by turning off the CalComp tablet and using
- a different pointer device.
-
- =====================================
- 27. "NOT AN ATM FONT" WARNING MESSAGE
- AT EXPORT
- =====================================
- If you export an illustration as an EPS file
- and check the option "Include Type 1 fonts in
- EPS," you may receive this message:
- "Font'(font name)', style '(style name)' is not
- an Adobe Type Manager [ATM] font, and cannot be
- included in the EPS. Install the font using ATM
- or change the font to an ATM font. Cancel to
- abort export."
-
- Aldus FreeHand displays this message when the
- illustration contains fonts which are listed in
- the PostScript printer section of your WIN.INI
- but are not installed in ATM.
-
- To export the illustration successfully, follow
- this procedure:
-
- 1. Click "Cancel" in the "Export" dialog box.
- 2. Install the font using the ATM control panel.
- 3. Restart Windows and Aldus FreeHand.
- 4. Open the illustration and export the EPS again.
-
- NOTE: TrueType fonts will always get this message
- and cannot be downloaded in EPS files with Aldus
- FreeHand 3.1. However, if the font is permanently
- downloaded to the printer, or downloaded by the
- application which places the EPS file, the correct
- font will still print even with the warning message.
-
- =====================================
- 28. PRINTING TRUETYPE FONTS
- =====================================
- When using Windows 3.1, TrueType fonts will only
- print to a PostScript printer when one of two
- items is checked in the "Advanced..." dialog box.
-
- To open the "Advanced..." dialog box:
-
- 1. Choose "Printer setup..." from the File menu.
- 2. Make sure a PostScript printer is the selected
- target printer, and then click "Setup..."
- 3. Click "Options..."
- 4. Click "Advanced..."
-
- The two ways to ensure that the TrueType fonts
- will print to a PostScript printer are:
-
- 1) Check the "Use Printer Fonts for all TrueType
- fonts" option in the "TrueType Fonts" section.
-
- 2) With the "Use Substitution Table" option checked,
- click on "Edit Substitution Table" and make sure
- that "Download Softfont" is NOT selected. Select
- specific fonts in the list box. If you have the
- options set up so that a TrueType font is downloaded
- as a soft font, the print job will fail with a
- PostScript error.
-
- NOTE: The Windows 3.1 default for "Use Substitution
- Table" maps Helvetica to Arial, and Times to
- NewTimesRoman.
-
- If printing fails, use convert-to-paths as a workaround.
-
- Similarly, if the TrueType fonts in an Aldus FreeHand
- illustration appear jagged when you print the
- illustration to a PostScript printer or when you
- export it an an EPS file, try this solution:
-
- 1. Open the illustration,
- 2. Choose "Printer setup..." from the File menu.
- 3. Make sure a PostScript printer is the selected
- target printer, and then click "Setup..."
- 4. Click "Options..."
- 5. Click "Advanced..."
- 6. Look at the "TrueType fonts" section of the
- "Advanced" dialog box. Under the "Send to printer as:"
- option, check to see if "Bitmap (Type 3)" is selected.
- If it is, selecting "Adobe Type 1" from the drop-down
- list box should resolve the problem.
- 6. Click "OK" for all the dialog boxes.
- 7. Print or export the illustration again.
-
- NOTE: TrueType fonts and the "Advanced" dialog box are
- only available if you are running Aldus FreeHand under
- Windows 3.1. For more information about the options in
- the "Advanced" dialog box for PostScript printers, see
- your Microsoft Windows 3.1 documentation.
