Okay, that's an improvement. But it still isn't as convenient as the Graphics Tool. (That is, it is an extra step.) -Original Message- From: Christopher Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] As Darcy pointed out to me recently (to my surprise!) you can crop a one-page PDF in pre-Tiger

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,

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. Johannes Darcy James Argue schrieb: Hi Robert, I agree, it's an extra step, but since PDF export is very fast and (mostly) reliable,

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

There we have it. From the passage itself at the point seems to make more sense to me but sul ponticello is not impossible. Judging from other comments that would make more sense in the case of Boccherini, being an Italian speaker. Johannes John Howell schrieb: At 7:33 PM +0200 5/26/05,

I'm not sure I'm following you, Eric. I'm not familiar with PageMaker, but any publishing app ought to be agnostic about file types. If it can embed EPS, it should be able to embed other graphic types, including PDF -- right? Have you tried importing PDFs into PageMaker? If so, how does

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.

I don't know what Eric does, but I use PageMaker all the time to prepare books. Many of them are instructionals, where the publisher will add a title page, for example, and there will be lots of text; others will add photographs. I can play with the layout of the book in PageMaker - changing text
