Freehand vs Adobe Illustrator

[chays]

I am thinking of switching from Adobe Illustrator to Freehand MX. I use Indesign 2.0 and Quark 4.4. Has anyone had any problems exporting eps files generated by Freehand into these 2 programs and getting work printed?

Thanks

Chris

Freehand is a robust commercial-grade illustration package, as is Illustrator, that interfaces without problem to both Quark and In-Design. Stick to standard file formats such as EPS for imported work, use postscript fonts, suitable ppd's and postscript printers and you will have no problems.

Why switch?
You hve to learn a new program new learning curve and
a lot of printers have problems ripping with freehand.
