The Vector image files are created using the drawing software FreeHand which employs curves, points and lines in the creation of the said images that could be scaled with no quality loss. Although the Adobe Illustrator CS2 and later versions are capable of opening FreeHand 9 files, it cannot open the FreeHand 10 or the FreeHand MX files. The files saved using the newer FreeHand versions would first have to be exported as FH9 files in order for them to be opened using the Adobe Illustrator. The FH9 file extension is used in identifying FreeHand 9 Drawing files which are part of the Macromedia FreeHand image and graphics rendering program. The said program could be employed in the creation of complex digital compositions or simple images. In order to access, create or edit the FH9 files, users would need to install the Macromedia FreeHand 9.
