The only way I can think of to create single-page PDF's is to print each page one at a time. My recollection of creating EPS files is that you can create a separate (single-page) EPS file for each page in a single pass. This is a huge difference of effort.
I wasn't anticipating anyone _needing_ a single-page PDF of *every* page of a Finale document -- just the pages that contain the musical examples they want to excerpt.
(Of course, as of 10.4, you can crop multi-page PDFs, so you don't even need to print multiple single-page PDFs -- you can just create a PDF of the entire document, then crop whatever you need.
And even so, surely there's a way to automate splitting a multi-page PDF into a series of single-page PDFs, if that's really what you need?
I'm sure there are good reasons to import into PageMaker (or other page layout program) before printing. Is it mainly just to pick up logos, or to mix in text? For, e.g., an extracted orchestra part I can't see much benefit. Or am I missing something?
Again, I was assuming that the primary reason people want to use EPS is for adding musical examples to a text document. For that purpose, PDF is, in my opinion, far superior to EPS, provided you're using something like InDesign or Pages, and not MS Word or AppleWorks.
