I frequently export EPS files from Finale (2008a.r1 for Mac) for use in our
church bulletins. The secretary imports them into Word (I have 2004 for Mac;
she has 2007 for Windows) and prints them on a laser printer. This process
usually goes off without a hitch, but sometimes--usually when I'm sending
the files to someone else (and/or have a tight deadline)--I have a few
recurring problems:
-The EPS files print out "jaggy." I recently had to redo a whole handout in
TIFF files because we simply couldn't get the EPS files to behave. I'm
encapsulating the fonts, so it should print out cleanly. It looks fine on
the screen, but prints out at what appears to be the screen's 72dpi.
-The EPS files print out with a different font. I'm sure you've all seen
this before--the notes become random symbols. Once again, if I've
encapsulated the fonts this shouldn't be happening, right?
-Sometimes the music prints out just fine except there's a light grey line
bordering the whole musical example. It's not the end of the world, but when
you've spent hours on the look of your printed materials, this is extremely
annoying.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Problems #2 and #3 are
currently happening, and yes, I have a tight deadline. I anticipate #1 may
happen when I send off the files to be printed.
Peace,
Greg
