I just did an experiment and found that there indeed doesn't appear to be any difference between 300 dpi pdfs and 1200 dpi pdfs when displayed on screen. I can assure you that when I did the same experiment a year and a half ago, the 1200 dpi pdfs were absolutely unviewable on screen, as staff lines were various different thicknesses. Going to 300 dpi still produced certain visual anomalies, but at least the staff lines were all one pixel thick. Here's an example of a 300 dpi pdf: http://www.leeactor.com/pdf/PrelTrag_2.pdf. Depending on the viewing magnification, some bar lines and ledger lines may be too thick, but it is legible, if not ideal. The only explanation I can offer is that perhaps this has something to do with a version update of my pdf software. I use pdfFactory Pro (Windows only), which installs as a printer driver. Or maybe it has something to do with the display side; I use the latest update of Acrobat Reader 7.0, which has been updated several times in the last 1-2 years. Hard to know. -Lee _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
