The difference is that eps in Finale are single page files, and pdf
are multi-pages files. Multi-pages are less flexible and more
complicated to handle. It seems to be possible in pagemaker to work
with mult-pages files but it needs a lot more work than just placing
a generic eps link.
Darcy, could you be more specific about how you handle multi-pages
pdf into a DTP program. For me the goal is not placing the file, but
create a workflow that is fast and reliable and so far I am not
convinced that pdf are better than eps for what I do, but I could
change my mind.
Right now the way I work is that I export my eps always with the same
number sequence (001, 002 etc.). The Pagemaker model I use already
has the links for, let say, pages 1 to 99. When I export eps after
that there is nothing more to do than open the pagemaker file (it
automatically update the links) and create Title page, text and so
on, and create a booklet for printing. I have seen so far nothing as
easy and fast as that, but I am curious to learn other ways.

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?
