Kim, Generating graphics of entire pages can be done within the graphics tool in Finale, and tiff is one of the options given for file type. After the save routine one can open the tiff in a photo program and print it to pdf by choosing a program like PDF995 as the print driver.
That doesn't resolve the issue of combining all those single pdf's into a single file, tho, for Andrew. BTW, Andrew, except for some semantic details, you were right when you wrote "I had thought that PDF text was a self-standing graphical image of whatever file it was derived from. Isn't that the whole point of the thing?" A PDF doesn't rely on "outside" fonts. It does rely on the person creating it to embed the needed fonts *correctly* so the fonts' graphic designs and frequency of use can be described in the file's code properly. :) -Cecil Rigby [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Kim Patrick Clow To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] TAN: Lulu.com On 1/4/07, Andrew Stiller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So how do I go about converting a 40-page Finale file into TIFFs? >And what's the difference betw. a "flat TIFF" and a round one? You're cracking me up here ;) Tiffs can have multiple layers, just like a Photoshop file. A flat TIFF means it is all one layer. And I don't know the answer to how to get Finale to generate tiff files and then save those to PDF, I'm still in the process of correcting proofs before I publish :( Such a long process! I'll try to find out more about Lulu in the meanwhile.
