I can confirm the behaviour, FinMac2006c, OSX 10.3.9. I saved an EPS which I then converted to PDF with Preview.

Ligatures are automatically added in the Finale file, no way that I can find to remove them, then they are stripped once the EPS is converted to PDF, with no way to force their inclusion that I can find.

Tech support?

I was working on a vocal piece this week and noticed that Finale 2006 is automatically transforming common ligatures (like fi to fi for example). Once an eps is exported into a DTP program, the ligatures are gone. Is this a bug, and can someone replicate this problem?
A screenshot and a pdf made from the eps can be seen here:

It highlights 2 problems for me:

1) If it was working as expected and I did not want Finale to replace common ligatures automatically, is there a way to desactivate this feature and just see things like I entered it in Finale? 2) If I really want this feature, is there a way to make it work and look the same when printed as on-screen?

Thanks for any help,
