Troubleshoot FH Files


Common Problems Opening FH Files

Adobe FreeHand is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open FH Files" when trying to open your FH. If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe FreeHand installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the FH file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your FH, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Adobe FreeHand Requires Update

It is possible that your version of Adobe FreeHand isn't able to open your Adobe FreeHand Image file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Adobe FreeHand version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is predominately due to having a Adobe FreeHand Image file version that was created by a newer version of Adobe FreeHand than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Investigate your FH file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of FH file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adobe FreeHand version installed.


Other FH File Issues

Errors opening Adobe FreeHand Image files can still occur even with the latest Adobe FreeHand software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening FH files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry FH file paths that are incorrect
  • Corruption of the FH file description inside the Registry
  • Corrupt install of Adobe FreeHand or other FH-related program
  • File corruption affecting your FH file
  • Your FH has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware associated with FH has outdated drivers
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Adobe FreeHand Image file successfully
