Eric, PDFs can be as many or as few pages as you want. It's just as
easy to create a single-page PDF as it is to create a single-page EPS.

The difference is that eps in Finale are single page files, and pdf
are multi-pages files. Multi-pages are less flexible and more
complicated to handle. It seems to be possible in pagemaker to work
with mult-pages files but it needs a lot more work than just placing
a generic eps link.

Have you tried importing PDFs into PageMaker? If so, how does its
Maybe there is something I don't get. I work with Pagemaker (it would
be the same with InDesign) for the book layout. I use a default
document that has all the pages (eps) placed, so when I export eps
from Finale to Pagemaker, it links the eps automatically, and every
time I make correction

Well, for me this extra step is a killer.
Ideally FinMac should get PDF export capabilities in the graphics tool,
since PDF is the standard on MacOSX.

Robert,
as far as I can tell EPS currently works with the following limitations:
- Some fonts (actually most of them) don't get imbedded. That means a)
that you get the dreaded font warning (merely a nuissance) and b) the
EPS files are not easily portable.
I have not been able to understand wh
Hi Robert,
I agree, it's an extra step, but since PDF export is very fast and
(mostly) reliable, whereas EPS export is very slow and buggy, it's
probably a *faster* extra step, and unlike EPS in FinMacOSX, PDF's are
WYSIWYG.
Of course, if you're importing into Word, the question is moot, bec
Okay, that's an improvement. But it still isn't as convenient as the Graphics
Tool. (That is, it is an extra step.)

Again, provided the destination app is PDF-aware (i.e., Quark,
InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Pages, etc), I really strongly
recommend Mac people go with PDF instead of EPS. In most cases, there
is no benefit at all to using EPS instead of PDF, and people have

Hi Robert,
There are two main issues:
1) EPS export doesn't work in WinFin. This is a longstanding problem.
2) EPS export works in Mac OS X, but the onscreen graphic preview is

Can someone explain to me the issues with EPS? I have seen several posts over
recent months about EPS being broken but I didn't quite understand them.
Is the problem that EPS files cannot be re-imported back into Finale with the
Graphic tool? Is the problem with all EPS's or just EPS's created w
