Nick,
I had a similar problem with a document made on a Mac in MS Word
(with eps clips of Finale files) and converted to pdfs. I had sent
it to a friend who was unable to open the pdfs on a PC. The
solutions was to save the Word document as a PostScript file and then
use Acrobat Distiller to create pdfs from that. Then everything
worked. This is surprising to me, since I had thought that a pdf was
a pdf and pretty much universal.

Hello to all,
I have prepared a music book for printing and decided to do it off-
site. I prepared all the music pages in Finale and converted them
to pdf. Other pages such as the cover and table of contents, etc.
were prepared using other programs, such as Photoshop, and also
converted to pdf. Using Adobe Acrobat (v 4) I imported all the
pages and assembled them into a pdf booklet.
When I took them to Kinkos, they were unable to open the pdf
document on their windows based system (I think they use Dell?).
However, they were able to open up the book on a Mac they have on
site. The Mac, however, is not networked so they cannot print from
it. They can only print from the windows based system.
The clerk there said he thinks that you have to specify a platform
when you save the pdf document. This does not sound right to me. I
thought Adove designed the pdf to be available on any platform for
reading and printing regardless of the platform you create it on.
Am I wrong or am I missing something basic here. Has anyone else
encountered this problem? What am I doing wrong?
I am using a mac iBook with Finale 2k5, Photoshop, Appleworks and
Adobe Acrobat 4.0.
