Freehand garbage destroying my gradient
I hate this program so much. A client has sent me a file using freehand 10 and there is a gradient in the background.
Ok so i file>export PDF and everything looks ok...except i cannot specify bleeds, crops, my overprint disappears and my pantone yellow moves to the yellow plate...errr
ok so file>print> print adobe pdf 7.0
set up crops/bleeds accordingly
ok so my overprint stays, pantone stays on its own plate but the gradient is now chopped into pieces (it looks like white lines going through the gradient at a 45* angle) they're so faint i dont think film or plates would catch them but the client basically thinks im an idiot since i sent them a pdf proof iwth these lines
ok so i even try saving as an .eps but as soon as the eps is opened in illy the gradient is in pieces, maybe 256 pieces if that makes sense?
wtf man, i hate this frigin program. does anyone have any ideas? even the help search tool sucks and i can't figure this out.
