Seriously, either you need to open it in Photoshop and correct bleeds / colours / text / and then place it into InDesign to place your dieline or if you can't correct in Photoshop have the person that did it originally to fix it in Photoshop. Re-creating it in Freehand is so far out into left field I'm flabbergasted anyone would consider it."

Hi Joe,

I have no idea If SHE did the job originally or it was handed to her after the fact. ( i believe her boss did the orig )
I spoke with her on the phone, and she said they have FH and PS there. ( I believe she works in FH only )

I told her the bleeds needed to be corrected ect.
but I did not tell her she had to re build it in FH.

She asked me how to export to FH:

"is there was an easy was to export the photoshop file into FH "
I told her i have NO idea, ive never used FH and that we take her FH files and open them in Illy.

She then re created it in FH uploaded it to our ftp and went on VAC.

If its an insane thing to ask then i feel like an asshole (and maybe rightfully so)
but Im doing as I was told (by the Lead)
Sounds like a mess. You did the right thing in asking whomever to fix it if you can't. You really have no control over how they decide to fix it. You should not feel like an a$$hole either...had they supplied it to correctly in the first place they would not have had to fix it.
