Preparing A Document For A Service Bureau - MACROMEDIA FREEHAND 10-USING FREEHAND Use Manual

When linking or embedding a graphic, FreeHand records the graphic's file name
and location. When you open, export, or print the illustration containing a
link, FreeHand looks for the linked graphic by its file name. If the source
graphic is not in its original folder, FreeHand looks for it in the same folder as
the FreeHand document.
When moving a document to another computer or to a storage device for
transport, follow these guidelines:
•
Save the linked graphics in the same folder as the document or embed all the
graphics in the document.
•
When preparing a document to send to a service bureau, use the Collect for
Output command to gather all needed components, including linked graphic
files. For more information, see "Preparing a document for a service bureau" on
page 418.
•
Use the Search for Missing Links feature (Macintosh). For more information,
see "Updating and fixing broken links upon opening a document" on page 124
