FH7 File Complications

Troubles Opening FH7 Files

Adobe Illustrator CC Disappeared

When trying to open your FH7 file, you get the error "Can't Open FH7 File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe Illustrator CC installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the FH7 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: Another FH7-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Adobe Illustrator CC is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of Adobe Illustrator CC isn't able to open your Adobe FreeHand 7 Drawing File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Illustrator CC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your Adobe FreeHand 7 Drawing File file was probably created by a newer release of Adobe Illustrator CC than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the FH7 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening FH7 files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Illustrator CC installed.
