Working with UserPrep files
UserPrep files are included in FreeHand to work around the limitations of particular professional-quality, PostScript output devices, and to modify EPS files created in FreeHand. These files include PostScript code to facilitate printing tiled, pattern, or gradient fills. These files do not affect printing to most desktop printers or PCL printers.
The UserPrep files are located in the Userprep (Windows) or UserPrep (Macintosh) folder in the FreeHand 10 folder. For complete information on using the available UserPrep files and a summary of each file, see the UserPrep Read Me file in the application folder.
You can specify a default UserPrep file in Export Preferences.
