What is FH11 file?
The .FH11 file extension is associated with the FreeHand 11, a vector drawing application, by Macromedia, Inc. The FH11 file stores graphics drawn in the FreeHand 11 software. It contains paths, text, graphics, and various information regarding colors, transparencies, and fills which are all layered in objects. This allows the user to have direct manipulation access to objects on the page. Most Vector objects that are contained in this type of file can be freely manipulated and resized.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from FH11 to INDD?
To successfully convert the FH11 file to INDD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.FH11). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case INDD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than INDD).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. FH11 to INDD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting FH11 files to INDD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension INDD, while before this step we had the FH11 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new INDD file, or not.
