About compressing artwork for the Web
When preparing images for display on the Web, you compress the images to
reduce file size and control the display of color and other attributes. You can
compress FreeHand artwork as a bitmap image in GIF, JPEG, or PNG format.
Note: You can also export FreeHand vector artwork in SWF format, to compress static
artwork or to export a document with animation or Flash actions. For more information, see
“Animating objects and text” on page 378, “Assigning Flash actions” on page 380,
“Exporting Flash movies” on page 381, and “Exporting files” on page 427.
