    As far as the sticky situation of opening Freehand files in Illustrator, export from Freehand as Freehand 9 and all will be well. See the Adobe site for the pdf detailing all points about Freehand to Illustrator migration.

    While these days I am in agreement with you Bob, there was a time when jpegs would crash the rip at my Repro house (I know this to be true as they were across the corridor from me) as did infuriatingly eps files with jpeg compression on them (yeah try finding that file at output stage back in the day).

    I am not a fan of them these days as they are 'lossy' and when saved over and over by some people (arrgh!) can become quite damaged.

    True type fonts have given me problems over the years in pdf output.

    Straight off the bat I assume* this is a pdf for download from a website.

    Which setting are you using to make the pdf, smallest file?

    As a rule I tend to steer clear of truetype fonts and am now sticking to Opentype.

    Use examine pdf and delete metadata and see how much that reduces file size.

    *I tend not to assume things, as assumption is often the mother of all ****ups.

    Export to rtf or word, very easy, how can that be overkill?

    It sounds like the kind of behaviour you get when text has been formatted without styles being used or 'basic paragraph' has been used throughout. For your adverts use uniquely named styles for the text. May I also suggest you export your adverts as snippets and import these snippets.

    Cool one Hank, that may have cut my yearly clicks by at least a third (possibly).

    A little aside to this subject but not entirely off-topic. When making a nested style I add a tilde ~ to the style name to show at a glance it contains a nested element.

    Thanks for clearing up for me David, bound to be teething problems. It still rules though. Cool

    Hi All

    I am a Graphic Designer, working in an old school design company who specilaise in Educational publishing, design and production, that is the main game in Oxford. My role varies from design to production as I have wide experience in both as well as being the 'Photoshop' guy. I have been using ID for 4 years now starting with CS2.

    I am stoked that we now have this forum, this site has really been a great resource during my ID adoption period and as a pro user, it now can only get richer as well as having a real sense of community to it.
