Well, it *is* possible to print to a PDF -- but it's not built into the operating system the way it is on a Mac. There are plenty of third-party printer drivers that let you print to a PDF.
Another option is to download the free Finale Notepad from <http://finalemusic.com/notepad/default.aspx>. This application has very limited editing capabilities, but it open and print any document created in Finale or other Makemusic notation tool.
A final option, since you're just asking about a single page, is to use Finale to export that page as a high-res TIF. Select the Graphics tool, then do Graphics | Export Pages. Select TIFF as the type, and be sure to choose a TIFF resolution which is at least as high as your printer's resolution.
(You can also export a page as EPS. However (a) that feature is at best unreliable in all Windows versions of Finale earlier than 2006c, and (b) this requires some application on the target machine which can open and print EPS files. TIF should serve your purposes for this, and most computers have some imaging program that can print TIFs.)
Hope this helps. Aaron. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
