> I need to be able to view color separations of FreeHand files.

FreeHand doesn't offer color separation preview.

Best option:

Print to a Postscript File, Distill with Press Quality settings. View in
Acrobat Pro>Advanced>Separation Preview.

Second best option:

If you have a Postscript printer, print separations directly from FreeHand.

Poor man's option which can be used only if all art is vector art, and no
raster images, raster effects, tiled fills or extrusions have been used:

1. Duplicate file.
2. Duplicate pages according to number of separation colors used.
3. Release brushes if used.
4. Run Xtras>Color>Name All Colors
5. On each page, use Find & Replace Graphics>Change>Color/'Change in Page'
to replace all colors but one with white.
6. Replace the remaining color with black.
7. Select next page, and change colors to white and black, replacing a
different color with black.
8. Repeat for each page.
9. Each page represents a color separation.
