What you need to do is go to FreeHand, File>>Document settings>>Output options>> instead of "Binary Cross Platform" choose "none" and then try to copy and paste into Photoshop – (the rest of the options in this small screen should remain as default). It should work, and afterwards you can change the option back to Binary… it’s a bug! But it’ll work (Posted by Ori©)

I just wanted to thank Scott for the tip below, i had an eps file sent to me and encountered the problems outlined above (i am using CS3) followed Scotts advice and i am pleased to say it worked a treat. Well done internet and well done forum users!

I removed line containing a similar line as above " FF logo BLACK.eps EPSFART5 ,ë ; ¿§ ¿§ õw " from the file header using Notepad and the EPS file opens in CS3. Remove everything prior to %!PS-Adobe and it should open.
