Using both Adobe reader and Preview on my Mac G5 with Finale 2007c, I compiled postscript files of a 4 page score by selecting "ALL" in the dialog box. The pages would not convert to .pdf files, and I got an error message stating that the files were either the wrong type or they were corrupted. I tried several times with the same result.
This is all a mystery to me, but I have a problem in that years of work are in Mosaic files. A very knowledgeable faculty colleague (manager, in fact, of the faculty training program) helped me get started converting those files to PDFs, but in order to make it possible he had to find me and install an older version of the complete Adobe Acrobat program that would run under Classic (OS 9.x), which is where my Mosaic is operational. It's now working perfectly, and I'm well started converting my old files, and will probably still be working on them when my 2002 Mac with Classic finally bites the dust!
There may be other workarounds--in fact I'm sure there are--but having the right software seems to be key. (Going through .PS is an option, but since I can go directly to .PDF that's what I've been doing.)
