To update your copy of Aldus FreeHand 4.0 to version 4.0a:
1) Verify that you are using Aldus FreeHand 4.0. Select the program icon in the Finder and choose "Get Info…" from the File menu. In the Get Info dialog box:
• If the number after "Version:" reads "4.0" proceed to step 2.
• If the number after "Version:" is other than "4.0" you cannot use the updater.
2) Back up your original copies of both the Aldus FreeHand 4.0 program and the Aldus FreeHand 4.0a Updater. We recommend that you use the updater on a copy of Aldus FreeHand 4.0. The updater does not create a new copy of the program when it updates it.
NOTE: If your organization uses KeyConfigure and KeyServer to administer a multiuser license for Aldus FreeHand 4.0, run the Aldus FreeHand 4.0a Updater on a copy of Aldus FreeHand 4.0 that has not been keyed by KeyConfigure. After the update is complete, run KeyConfigure on the updated program. The updater will not operate properly on a copy of Aldus FreeHand 4.0 that contains a key.
3) Turn off all extensions:
• System 7: Press and hold Shift as you restart your Macintosh. You may release the Shift key after the message “Welcome to Macintosh. Extensions off” screen or your startup screen appears.
• System 6: Move all nonessential Startup and Control Panel files out of the System Folder. Then restart your Macintosh.
4) If you received the Aldus FreeHand 4.0a Updater on a disk, insert the disk into any disk drive. If you obtained the updater from an online service, proceed to step 5.
5) Determine which updater to use:
• If you use the US English version of Aldus FreeHand 4.0, double-click on the “Aldus FreeHand 4.0a US Updater” icon.
• If you use the International English version of Aldus FreeHand 4.0, double-click on the “Aldus FreeHand 4.0a IE Updater” icon.
NOTE: If you do not know which version of Aldus FreeHand 4.0 is installed, start Aldus FreeHand 4.0, click the Window menu, and check the spelling of the menu commands. If the menu contains the spellings “Color mixer…” and “Color list…,” use the US English updater. If the menu contains commands spelled “Colour mixer…” and “Colour list…,” use the International English updater. The update will not operate properly if you use an inappropriate updater.
6) Double-click on the updater icon.
7) In the dialog box that appears, click “Update.”
8) In the next dialog box that appears, locate the copy of Aldus FreeHand 4.0 and click “Update.”
9) After the update is complete, click the name of the copy you updated and rename it “Aldus FreeHand 4.0a.”
The Aldus FreeHand 4.0a Updater installs the following corrections:
• Improves overall performance on some system configurations.
• Improves performance substantially for systems with more than approximately 100 fonts installed.
• Properly prints a page using the “Wide” orientation and using a custom paper size on an imagesetter.
• Prints up to a maximum custom paper size of 54 inches by 54 inches in the Print Options dialog box. In Aldus FreeHand 4.0, the maximum printable custom paper size you can specify is 40 inches by 40 inches.
• Exports correct Open Prepress Interface (OPI) comments for EPS files that include a group created using this exact sequence:
1. Include a TIFF image in a group.
2. Check the "Transform as unit" option in the Object Inspector.
3. Transform the group.
4. (optional) Paste the group inside a path.
In Aldus FreeHand 4.0 these objects print out of position in an exported EPS file. You must export the EPS file from Aldus FreeHand 4.0a to correct the problem.
Note: If you perform step 4 before step 3, the OPI comments are still incorrect in an EPS file exported from Aldus FreeHand 4.0a.
• Prints graduated and radial fills more smoothly on an output device that uses PhotoGrade. Aldus FreeHand 4.0a uses the maximum number of gray shades available.
• Preserves overprinting settings applied to the “Fill and stroke…” text effect in Aldus FreeHand version 3.x when the 3.x illustration is opened or placed in Aldus FreeHand 4.0a.
• An Aldus FreeHand EPS file containing multiple master fonts no longer produces PostScript errors when processed by Aldus PrePrint or Aldus TrapWise.
• A character typed between an existing kerned pair no longer adopts the kerning value as range kerning. Aldus FreeHand 4.0a applies the default range kerning value, which is usually zero.
• Converts PostScript fills and lines in Aldus FreeHand 2.x illustrations correctly to Aldus FreeHand 4.0a, without corrupting the converted illustration or causing system errors.
• Prints gray areas of RGB TIFF images correctly on process color separations.
