Hello All,

I decided to try a new project in Finale 2009b and have come across a major problem printing to PDF. I have Adobe Acrobat 9.1 (full version) installed, and am running on Vista Ultimate 64-bit. When I try to print to the Adobe PDF driver, I get an error:

thunking spooler apis from 32 to 64 process has stopped working

After a bit of searching, I discovered that this process is invoked when printing from a 32-bit application to a 64-bit driver. So, it seems the culprit is Vista. However, Finale 2009 is the only application that gives me this error. And, Finale 2008a prints just fine to this driver. This suggests Finale 2009 is at least partly to blame. Has anyone else with a similar setup run across this issue?

Also related, it appears that the compile postscript listing command is broken in 2009 (on my setup, at least). It uses strange font references that distiller doesn't know what to do with, and generates a postscript file that is not plain text, so it is difficult to examine to see where the problem lies. Does anyone on the list use the compile postscript listing? It has never worked properly for me (it sort of works in 2008, but the actual music ends up displaced off the page with only a small portion visible on the edge).

Best,
Scott
