If Finale itself is the source of the bug which doesn't output placed graphics correctly, you're right -- a different pdf engine wouldn't make any difference. However, the Finale pdf exporter has been seriously broken for a long time, tending to strew random characters across pages which have lots of tuplets (among other problems). Makemusic verified this bug years ago, but apparently still hasn't gotten it fixed (the pdf exporter is 3rd party software, so they can't fix directly). Additionally, the Finale built-in pdf export is very slow and produces humungous file sizes, up to 10x other print-to-pdf solutions; I recommend avoiding it if at all possible. I've evaluated many of the print-to-pdf apps, and IMHO the best is Bullzip, which is fast, full-featured, produces very small file sizes, and is solid as a rock. Plus it's free for individual use: http://bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php.

Graphics work just fine for me with it. In what way would that make any difference to me? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected]
