Thanks so much. That was it -- I had use Last Saved Settings in the printing dialog box. Then my webpage said it wasn't found but I realized it was an upper/lowercase issue. So much to figure out.

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.
