I agree.  In addition, close examination of the printed output of the pdf,
while far better than the screen display, shows subtle aliasing distortion
(stair-stepping) on curved objects such as braces, slurs, etc.  When
printing directly from Finale to a 1200 dpi Postscript printer, these curves
are completely smooth.

So the question remains: how to produce a high quality pdf from Finale in
Windows?  By high quality, I mean printed output that is indistinguishable
from that printed directly from Finale to a PS printer.  BTW, I also tried
pdf995; compared to pdfFactory, the screen output was a little worse and the
printed output a little better, but still not as good as direct printed
output.
