I think you need to trash the preferences file.

 When I run Finale 2008 it starts loading 'items about midi etc. then  
 just quits.
 I read a Makemusic report about removing all audio plug-ins and  
 restarting to see if it loads.
 Haven't tried that !!!
 
 Any Suggestions?
 Thx much,

[Finale] Finale and Illustrator

2012-03-04 Thread David Froom
Dear collective wisdom,

Does anyone export Finale in such a way that individual elements are editable 
in Illustrator?  I seem to remember someone telling me that this is possible.  
(EPS? compiling PS?) I have a student who is interested in doing this.  He is a 
double major (Art) and has good Illustrator skills.

If anyone could point me in the right direction -- or suggest another way (with 
different graphics programs) to accomplish this in some form, please let me 
know.

Thank you,
David Froom

I print to the Adobe pdf driver, open the pdf file in Acrobat Professional,
and 'save as...' eps. These files open in illustrator and individual
elements can be edited.

What Richard says is true, but you can also export the Finale file as EPS via 
the Graphics Menu.  This will open in Illustrator and everything is editable.

Going directly from Finale to eps from the graphics window can leave fonts
behind, depending on your Finale version, settings, OS, and the phase of the
moon. Print-to-pdf then converting to eps is, from what I have experienced
and read here, more reliable. But, whatever works...

Richard and J D -- thank you so much for your help.  To make sure I understood 
how to do this, I downloaded a trial version of Illustrator and pulled in an 
EPS file.  It really is amazing what you can do!  My student is going to be 
thrilled.  And, if he ever runs into a problem working with EPS (I know them to 
be problematic from time to time, and suspected the phase of the moon), we have 
another way to go.
