Chuck,
There is most likely an unacceptable symbol (most likely a slash) in
the PART name of one or more of the parts you are trying to print to
PDF.
When you print linked parts to PDF, Finale creates new PDF files with
the following format:
yourscorename - thecurrentpartname.mus.pdf
So if one of your PART names is, for instance, "Alto Sax/Flute 1", or
"Trumpet/Fluegel 2", Finale tries to create the following files when
printing to PDF:
Deja Blue - Alto Sax/Flute 1.mus.pdf
Deja Blue - Trumpet/Fluegel 2.mus.pdf
... and when OS X tells Finale "You can't put a slash in a filename,
dummy," Finale provides you the "helpful" error message.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Hi Aaron,
Yes, it is a (sarcastic tone) helpful message. However, there is no
unacceptable symbol in this title "Deja Blue.mus" as far as I can
tell.
Still puzzled.

Guess what: The error message has nothing to do with the error! If
I remember the discussion correctly, I'm going to guess you're
trying to save a PDF that has a character like a slash in the
filename ("Flute/Piccolo"), and slashes aren't allowed in
filenames. But isn't that a nice helpful error message from Finale?
Chooser??
Aaron.
