Just checking, OP are you having this problem

a) Rasterising from vector
b) Raster to raster
c) vector to vector

I just looked - the number of steps option was in FreeHand. Gee i miss it.

'Frustrator' huh.

I don't quite understand why you are opening and flattening in PS. I would be PDFing the Indesign and Illustrator files and postscripting the Freehand...

I only open them in PS as a last resort with files from clients. Alot of people seem to save as a PDF rather print to PDF and going thru the distiller. Or don't raster their text layer's.

Also the resolution of the original files is of vital importance...plus the rip could also be an issue... so many factors to consider...

problem could be the rip as well.....
