Hello, I'm happily using Finale 2000c on Mac OS 9.1.
Now I need to be able to save files as PDFs. I'm told that unless I
splurge for a computer running OS X, my only option is GhostScript. So
I've downloaded GhostScript and its companion MacView... but I can't
get anything out of them except error messages.
I'm hoping I just have the bits and pieces installed in the wrong
places or something like that... Is anybody out there successfully
making PDF versions of Finale files this way?
I do.
Before doing so, I downloaded a postscript printer driver (I used the PS
driver for the HP 5100, but any should work) and install it as a printer
on your system, setting it to print to file.
When you need a pdf of a file, you print the file you wish to convert to
~.pdf to the postscript printer driver which creates a file in the
default place (although I always put it on the desktop; since I'm on a
windows machine, I use a file name like ">myfile<.ps"; I don't know how
MAC identifies a printer file.) Then you lauch macview, and load in the
printer file you created with the printer driver. On the Windows
equivalent to MACview, on file drop down menu, one selects "convert",
and answer the questions in the dialog boxes.
