Hi Dorothy et al- whether you're on Mac or Windows, you can do the following:
Make sure you have a Laserwriter print driver installed. (I use Apple Laserwriter II NTX on Windows) When in Finale select it as the printer and select "Print to File" When you click the print button you will be prompted to name the file and select a location to save it. Give it whatever name you want, *adding* the .PRN suffix and save it. Drag this new .PRN file onto the open Acrobat Distiller window. Voila. Hope this helps- Cecil Rigby HarrockHallMusic [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (personal) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Ker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 5:05 AM Subject: [Finale] creating a pdf > I have just installed acrobat 5.0 so I can make pdf files from Finale. > The Finale help manual recommends printing to file so I am trying this > way first.
