As a recent graduate, I've searched tirelessly in local stores for books that deal with pre-press issues. I spent hundreds of dollars on books only to get one tid bit of what is here on this site. Thank you! Now book poor, and still unemployed, I'm relieved to have found truly helpful information that I can pick and choose from based on my needs. If I need a book, your reviews are fantastic. This site will enable me to be more prepared when someone does finally hire me.
The other great feature about your site is the print setup which knocks out irrelevant images, ads, and type. Printing only the relevant images and content is true innovation, with customer satisfaction in mind, I won't forget your site!
Thanks

Your article mentioned having to export a FreeHand file as an EPS to be able to open it in PhotoShop. All you have to do is copy the FreeHand file and paste into Photoshop (works on Mac, presumably on a PC as well). This has worked in at least the last two FH versions.

While I think it's imperative that faults like this one [overprintable whites in Illustrator 9.0] are pointed out and Adoobe correctly upbraided for thoughtless interface design [after all Macromedia made the same cock-up in FreeHand 4.0 - do any of these people learn from past mistakes?]... I REALLY dislike Sandee Cohen's written style in this piece; it's overblown, hyperbolic, scenery-chewing drama-queen stuff that frankly is more suitable to the trash novel genre. Please remind her, someone, that she's writing for INFORMATION & UNDERSTANDING.

Good informative article but...

very interesting and helpful
This article may be helpful to me in correcting a printing problem we occasionally experience.
overblown writing style
