The MacObserver directed me to a post at Creative Toolbox talking about a couple of new PDFs that have been posted to Adobe's Design Center (though I was unable to find the Adobe direct link, only the PDFs) that are showing designers how to easily switch from Freehand to Illustrator. This is more Macromedia/Adobe design than Flash, but the product came with my old Studio MX so here's some thoughts. Creative Toolbox sees this guide as a hint at a possible future product strategy for Adobe, specifically Freehand will be dropped for Illustrator leading to GoLive being dropped from Dreamweaver, and a possible drop of Fireworks for Photoshop. I say, Freehand has already been dropped. Macromedia stopped updating it after MX and didn't even include it in Studio 8. That is a much bigger hint than the guide, but I also don't think users will be encouraged to move to Illustrator. I think you guys should move to Flash. So of use already use it from design and move to Fireworks for larger stuff and move to Photoshop from print (I would go on to illustrator for ultra complex design for print and more, but I don't own it... yet) This guide is just an official version of something that is probably already found in regular non-Adobe/non-Macromedia user guides. Head over to the PDF link to read for yourself. But remember one day we will do all design in Flash, so you may want to figure out how to move from Freehand to Flash instead...
