I've used this feature quite a few times with applications other than Finale. The main consideration seems to be whether or not one has a real printer installed. Because if you don't there appears to be some clipping of the top and bottom lines of the PDF files in screen view. At least this is what happens for OmniWeb. Maybe it's an individual application responsibility to ensure that the area printed to Preview accounts for the total area of the document contents, but I don't know right now. If Finale gets this happening it would save a step, but I'm happy to use GhostScript for the nonce. > This is just one more reason why it's so frustrating to have > Coda dragging its heels on OS X compatibility. Whatever else, Sibelius gets full points for treating Mac users with respect as to their OS preference and I hope Coda has finally decided to stop discriminating against it's long time Macintosh user base in this regard.
