I called the publishers today, and it really did seem to present them problems working around it at late notice. I've just ended up editing the articulation to make it a shape instead, composed of single tremolo symbols stacked. This worked a treat, and took a couple of minutes. As I'd already arranged with them to email something else direct to an orchestral librarian in a few days, I'm going to have to do the same thing with that work. It's interesting how what might seem like a small matter presents such big problems. In the piece concerned, I was using a lot of double and single line tremolo markings. It shatters my confidence in using pdfs with finale at the moment, frankly.
