I have several files made (more fool me!) with Sigler's SwingFont.
Now I have to convert them in PDF to send them to musicians who
don't own Finale.
Making the conversion I get an Adobe error telling that the owner of the
font
(Macromedia) doesn't allow to embed the font in PDF's (unbelievable!).

For Mac users, I wondered whether I should upgrade from OS 10.6.6 to the new
10.6.8 that just came out.

Hmm. After installing 10.6.8 my iMac wouldn't get past the blue start-up
I'd like to second Marcello's request. The font substitution feature in Finale
is not reliable. Fonts will get 'stuck' in expressions or text blocks or
randomly in some things and not in others. And the replacement of fonts with
similar names also seems to fail.
Anyone with a plug-in to do this
I was working in Finale when the upgrade came.
I quit all applications, installed 10.6.8, restarted, opened needed
applications and resumed.

Hi all,
Time to tap the collective wisdom. I have a score that was created in
Fin2001, most recently edited in Fin2003, now opened in Fin2011. By and
large, the conversion went fine.
However, there are a few places in the score where the group bracket and
barlines drawn through staves
and of course right after I hit Send, I figured out half of the
problem. I fixed this by inserting a new measure stack to the right of
the problem measure, copying the music from the problem measure to the
new one, and deleting the problem measure.
Still would be nice to know why this
I take it back -- that didn't fix the problem. It just moved the
affected measure back one.
(That is, if the problem measure was 6, and I insert a new stack to the
right, copy music and delete 6, the new 6 now looks fine, but 5 has
inherited the problem.)
So I'm back to square one.
Thanks,
It looks to me like some of your groups for optimized staff systems didn't
get transferred. TGTools will rebuild them for you if that's the case.

Briliant, Robert, dead on! Works even though Fin11 doesn't have the
concept of optimized staff systems

Finalescript does this. Have you tried it?
Never. Don't know anything about it. Figured it was yet another scripting
language I didn't need to learn after wasting time on other programs that
introduced and then abandoned their scripting.
Guess I'll look
Thank you Aaron and Robert,
I have encountered this a number of times (in converting older scores to recent
versions of Finale) and used more brutal measures to cure the problem - copying
the whole score into a new template. This is a big help.

Yeah, there must be something in the software he is using, because I
don't have problems with that font and I still have the original
floppy disc with the font.

But if one prints to a PDF driver, the resulting PDF doesn't contain any

Yes, it does, depending on your settings. A PDF with text has to include
references to a font; the only question is whether the PDF embeds the
font or relies on
On another computer where CutePDF is installed I can make PDF's with

some other involved Adobe converter.
