How do I open FreeHand with Illustrator CS6??

[pik80]

I didn't realize that Adobe took away the ability to open FreeHand files in Illustrator CS6 (a feature that was available in CS3-CS5.5.) Is there a converter tool I can use with CS6 that will bring that functionality back? Using CS4 would require me to go back to a really old and slow Mac so I would really like the ability to open it on CS6 so I don't have to do that.

There is a plug-in o convert Freehand files available for CS6 at this URL: Tensai AI Plugins .

Ok, I'll give it a try and report back on how it went. Thanks!

It worked wonderfully for the most part! Thanks for telling me about the plug-in! I was really worried I would need to go back to some old Mac to reopen this stuff. Thank goodness that isn't the case.

Glad it worked.

nicole, what do you mean by your question "why theres a license key"?

I'm also being asked for a license key..

[Ton Frederiks]

Because it is not a free plug-in. You need to pay to get the license key.

Please explain your question in detail Riaaz. What product and version do you use? What system? Did it ever work?
