Has anyone noticed this bug before and know of a fix?
FinMac2k7c, a score originally created in 2k7a(?) probably, using
linked parts:
At the beginning of two (and sometimes three) of the movements, the
clefs and time signatures are grayed out on the PDF print-out of
the full score (using OSX's save-as-PDF). On the page before one
of these movement changes, default whole rests are also grayed
out. These elements show properly on screen. The parts print
correctly.
The common feature of the beginnings of these movements is the
notation of the time signature.
I've quit Finale, rebooted my computer, checked the file integrity,
but the behavior remains the same. The workaround I've found was to
print in sections, with those troublesome movements being the 1st
page of a PDF. It didn't fix, however, the grayed out whole rests
on that one page, which was corrected by manually entering whole
rests.
Does this bizarre behavior sound familiar to anyone?
I've seen grey lines and other items at times in some PDFs,
particularly some created on Windows. The issue is purely a display
one, however, as everything prints properly.
It also seems to matter what you view it with. I have seen it
particularly in Preview, while Adobe Reader 7 seems to display fine.
I have never seen a PDF created on my Mac that didn't print correctly
(except when printing from Windows 98), but I would suspect a font
issue. For a while I had a font that displayed correctly but printed
different characters!? Changing it to an OpenType font corrected all
problems.
