The material is simply printed.
Right. Haven't you ever used Distiller or PDF95 or some other PDF printer driver? It looks to your system exactly like a printer. If this site lets you print to your physical printer, there's nothing to stop you from printing to PDF instead. And even if you get one big PDF with all the parts, you can still selectively print pages from that later.
Or, as I said, there's always a xerox machine. Aaron. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
