I'm not sure I'm following you, Eric. I'm not familiar with PageMaker,
but any publishing app ought to be agnostic about file types. If it
can embed EPS, it should be able to embed other graphic types,
including PDF -- right?
Have you tried importing PDFs into PageMaker? If so, how does its
behavior differ as compared to importing EPS files?

Maybe there is something I don't get. I work with Pagemaker (it would
be the same with InDesign) for the book layout. I use a default
document that has all the pages (eps) placed, so when I export eps
from Finale to Pagemaker, it links the eps automatically, and every
time I make corrections to the score I export the eps and open
pagemaker to update the links. The eps are embedded in the document,
so I can trash the eps as soon as they are linked.
Now I don't see where having printed as pdf can help me, as I don't
know how to relink automatically the pdf when it has been changed.

Hi Robert,
I agree, it's an extra step, but since PDF export is very fast and
(mostly) reliable, whereas EPS export is very slow and buggy, it's
probably a *faster* extra step, and unlike EPS in FinMacOSX, PDF's
are WYSIWYG.
Of course, if you're importing into Word, the question is moot,
because Word rasterizes imported PDFs. But if you're importing into
Quark or InDesign or whatever, I don't really see the point of using
EPS -- especially if you want to actually see the graphics you're
placing.
