The problem with printing direct from Finale to a PDF driver such as CutePDF, is that the staff lines appear to be of varying thicknesses when you view the PDF file. Curiously they actually print OK on paper but they look really ugly on the screen. They certainly don't create a good impression! The way round this is to use the Compile Postscript Listing command (in the File menu), which creates a ".PS" file. You can't send this directly to your printer on Windows, so I use a free utility program called Printfile: http://www.lerup.com/printfile/ You simply drag the PS file onto the Printfile icon and it is sent directly to your PDF driver. The output is superb. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
