What version of FreeHand? What platform/OS?

Are you sure your image is a TIFF? If it's an EPS with clipping path, it
won't export correctly in a PDF. There are many limitations to the PDF
exporter from FreeHand.

--- quote from the FHMX help files ---
You cannot export the following effects to PDF format:
€ Custom and PostScript fills and strokes, arrowheads, and textured fills.
€ Alpha channel transparency.
€ EPS images. If an EPS image has a TIFF preview, FreeHand exports the
preview instead of the*EPS file.
€ Text effects.
€Overprinting. Overprinting applied to objects is turned off when
exporting*to*PDF.

I am using FH10, have tried on both MAC OSX Jaguar and Window XP, both result the same!

Samuel,

That reply doesn't address the questions that Judy asked.
