Mac OS X 10.7.3 / Finale 2012a To a song I am working on I imported a color JPG, then made and imported a PDF of a few bars of the same song. Then I made a PDF of the song, with the imported JPG and PDF and it looks good to me, both on-screen, laser printed on Brother HL-1850 and inkjet colorprinted on Canon P4500 I made the PDF from the Print to PDF in the print dialog box.
