    Default Unable to open eps document in Freehand MX

    I am trying to open an eps file in Freehand MX. The file was saved from Freehand 10. When I open the file, it appears as a box with a large black "X" through it. Is there any way I can open and edit this file? Thanks.

    If the file wasn't saved as "Editable EPS" -- which contains native
    FH code as well as the PostScript instructions -- FH will not be able
    to open it. You need to open the original FH document from which the
    EPS was exported, or use a PostScript parser (in the latter case much
    of the file's structure will be lost).
