Q&A with Customer Support. "How it has always been." Submission Date: 4/26/2006 12:38:44 PM (Central Standard Time) Submitter: Dennis Bathory-Kitsz Hi, Finale 2006c. Compile Poscript finally works properly in Finale 2006, which I just learned from the Finale listserv. Thank you. However, all my scores are done in a folio format of 9.25437 x 12.16667. The droplist does not include a "custom" page size, and entering the figures into the height/width boxes has no effect of customizing the compilation. It defaults to whatever size is selected on the droplist (it works with all the sizes on the droplist). Everything is correctly pre-set in the page size and printer settings (the latter set to the special size saved in my Postscript driver profile). This looks like a bug, and now that Compile Postscript finally works (I've been waiting since Finale 2.1!) and produces nice, legible and compact files, I'd like it to work on the size paper I use! (By the way, the EPS function from the graphics menu *does* respect the size.) Many thanks, Dennis Submission Date: 4/27/2006 2:04:05 PM (Central Standard Time) Submitter: Customer Support Agent There is not a custom option in the Compile PostScript Listing dialog box. It will only save using the page sizes available in the dropdown. This is actually how it has always been and is not new to Finale 2006. You may have to export the document as EPS and then convert to PS using a third-party program. I believe that there are several free converters online that you could use. Just search for "EPS to PS". I will also submit a feature request that you would like to have the ability to select a custom page size in future versions.
