i haven't solved the problem yet, but have narrowed the scope down a bit. macfin2k3a printing to acrobat v.5, G4/400 OS 9.2.2/384 RAM, finale accorded 75M.
i deleted all fonts installed by finale, as well as any version of them i had floating around in other places on my HD and reinstalled brand new, only the PS fonts, font annotation and AFM files. also reinstalled the application, but i still can't print to acrobat from finale, getting this message:
--
%%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: def ]%%
Stack: -dict- /FinaleDict /Courier
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

have also tried installing TT fonts along with PS, and then removing all PS and having only the TT fonts in the system, neither solved anything.
now, if i change the default font to courier, even while retaining other fonts in the document, i can print to pdf! i can even change all the font settings as i like, so that courier appears nowhere in the score, as long as the default font is still set to courier. this is NOT a workable solution, because changing the default font setting to courier changes all the articulations and dynamics already in the document to courier as well... (printing from other apps is not a problem, with music or text fonts).
really i am starting to think i simply received a wonky version of the programme; in addition to all the other problems, i have had my finale prefs file get corrupted twice in the past two weeks, and had to reconfigure all programme and appearance options... all the computer trouble i have had recently started during an install from the CD.
is it possible that the installation CD or the finale application which it installs is corrupt somehow?
