I don't have a Postscript printer. I am creating PDFs for download and for my own printing on various non-PS printers. That's why the screen display and size are important -- so those folks auditioning the files can get a good, clean look and fast download. >Does Acrobat 3 or 5 install an Adobe PDF printer driver? These are versions of Acrobat Distiller, not the full Acrobat. They came with Pagemaker and installed themselves as printer drivers. Distiller 5 also installed a PDF converter as part of its function. (In any case, I have to set a PS device in the Finale printer dialog so that it will compile.) >Or >are you printing to a file first then running it through distiller? For Acrobat 3, Distiller. For the compile Postscript and Export EPS, through Distiller and Ghostscript. >If >the latter, what printer driver are you using to print to file? AdobePS4.drv version 4.53. The compile and export EPS show Finale2006c as the source application, and reading the PostScript file shows "/finPSvers (3.8.2) def" In both cases, Ghostscript-created PDFs have the same source information, just showing a different PDF creator. >What >version of Ghostscript are you running? Latest stable (8.53). I don't know how to read the character placements. The sixteenth note's flag is the "r" character (114 or $72) The same flag in the same place in the score's EPS file (with the only change being the default music font, and then compiled) for Maestro and RevereFinale read respectively (two different 16th note flags shown). (r) 4.431 4602.9976 5203.5835 flup /Maestro ff 164 scf stf (r) 4.431 4604.2788 5203.5835 flup /RevereFinale ff 164 scf stf (r) 4.431 4382.6226 5203.5835 flup /Maestro ff 164 scf stf (r) 4.431 4382.1953 5203.5835 flup /RevereFinale ff 164 scf stf I can't find how the characters are placed in the PS files, which have an entirely different format when output from Finale. Say anything to you? :( Thanks, Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
