Using AppleScript to automate FreeHand (Macintosh)
On the Macintosh, you can automate some FreeHand functions, including document manipulation, printing, report generation, and Find & Replace Graphics, using the AppleScript and Script Editor (available from Apple).
To use AppleScript capabilities in FreeHand, you must have AppleScript and Apple's Script Editor installed on your computer. Scripts are written using the AppleScript Script Editor and may be run either from the Script Editor or by saving a script as an application and launching it from the desktop or Apple menu.
