The answer to this question has nothing specific to do with Finale. What your student needs is simply some kind of software on his computer that can create PDFs. There are free products like pdf995 (which is what I use) that install a PDF converter as a printer driver that can be used from any software that prints. It works just fine (with an advertisement that pops up while the PDF is being written). The website is pdf995.com. It is necessary to install the ghostscript support as well as the pfd995 software, but that's pretty clearly explained on the download page. I'm sure there are other alternatives, both free and $$. I, for one, would never buy Acrobat -- Adobe's software is badly enough designed that it's barely justifiable as free software (e.g., Acrobat Reader), so I would certainly never *pay* for further punishment from Adobe's poorly designed offerings. -- David W.
