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?
Any help will be gratefully received!
Charles,
I haven't used Ghost Script, but this was how I made PDFs in OS9 with
Acrobat 4. You can modify the instructions relating to Acrobat to
whatever seems to work with GhostScript, I imagine.
I had a devil of a time getting PDFs to work until this set of
instructions came my way.
Hope they help you out.

Creating PDFs in Finale OS9 with Acrobat 4.
In the Chooser, select Adobe PS as the printer
In Finale, select Postscript settings> font inclusion All
and Printer-Specific Settings> resolution 1200 dpi.
Print, but print to Destination: File.
set Distiller to Press Optimised. It will remember this setting for
next time.
Drag the resulting .ps file from the print operation onto the Distiller
icon or into the Distiller window. The PDF will be created in the same
directory.
