I am working on a document (arranging book) with many Finale eps
graphic inserts in MS Word, and they print well when I print the
pages on my HP Laserwriter 5000N. (They look lame on screen, but
they print fine.) However, when I send the file to others in Word,
or convert it to a pdf file, the Finale examples print badly (losing
lines, etc.).
Am I doing something less than optimally, or is that just the way
things are? I'd like to have others see the work (to help edit
things and advise me) but, at the moment, I must print hard copies
and mail them, and that seems so last century!
If you are on a Mac, try this (works for me in some applications, but I
don't own Word):
Instead of selecting "Save PDF" or the like in the print dialogue,
select a postscript driver and save as PS file. Now open this PS file
with Preview, and save it as PDF. The PDF might be larger, but I can get
EPS graphics to render correctly (otherwise they only get embedded as
pisel graphics).
If this is the answer, I suspect there is a problem embedding EPS in
PDFs when doing this directly from the print dialogue. One application
where this definitely is the solution is Finale itself, if you placed
EPS graphics with the graphics tool (which I do for footnotes and the like).
I think Apple is to blame here, not Finale.
