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.

I'm not sure I'm following you, Eric. I'm not familiar with PageMaker,

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.

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.
