Title: Re: [Finale] Finale: Sharp and crisp PDFs.
Have you checked to see if adding a page size to the pagesizes.txt file has any bearing on that drop down? My guess is that is not going to change anything, but it’s probably worth a shot. You can learn more about pagesizes.txt in the appendix of the manual. As I said, probably won’t work, but it might be worth a try.
