I have Mac OS 10.5.4, Finale 2008. I have a little clarinet solo
that I was printing on tabloid, landscape, 2 up. In Finale I
printed to PDF. Then I realized that I really wanted the .pdf to be
on letter size, portrait. I redid it, overlying the first one. In
Preview it looks fine.
However I am using an open source store and I uploaded the .pdf to
the server. However, when you click on the link to View the Sample,
it is displayed in Preview on tabloid, landscape!!! I deleted
the .pdf on my computer and on the server and started over and got
the same result. I have about half of the songs are letter and half
are tabloid, landscape. It is nuts.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have 10.4, but I think the issue might be similar.
You have to make sure that you select Page Setup and set the page
size and orientation before printing. Then when you print, even if
you are only using the PDF writer, you have to make sure the settings
are for printing to letter size, portrait. On my Mac, I have set the
Print and Fax options to use the last printer selected, so that means
it retains the settings as well. If I have previously printed 2-up to
tabloid landscape, that is what it remembers for the next time and
the PDFs inherit this, too.
Most of the time, that is. There seems to be a separate issue that if
I verify the settings, they are inherited. If I DON'T check them,
then sometimes they are inherited, sometimes they aren't.
