Whenever the built-in Finale pdf exporter is mentioned, I feel obligated to point out that a) it has serious bugs, printing unwanted characters in unexpected locations, esp. on pages with tuplets; and b) it produces enormous file sizes, up to 10x other print-to-pdf solutions. The pdf export is from a 3rd party developer, Makemusic knows it's broken, and they continue to include it in Finale anyway.
The pdf printer I always recommend for Windows is Bullzip. It's extremely stable, very fast, and produces the smallest file sizes of any such product I've surveyed -- and I've tried pretty much all of them. -Lee _______________ Lee Actor Composer-in-Residence and Assistant Conductor, Palo Alto Philharmonic http://www.leeactor.com -----Original Message----- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of Aaron Sherber Sent: Sunday, April 1, 2018 5:30 PM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: [Finale] Exporting parts to PDF Hi all, I just took advantage of the sale at MM to upgrade to Fin25, and I'm exploring some of the new features. (And wondering why they haven't improved the UI in 5 years, but that's a different issue.) I noticed the new Export to PDF feature, which is quicker and easier than printing to a PDF driver, but I was dismayed to find that it only exports the current part or score. Did they really not implement an Export Linked Parts to PDF feature, as they did with Export Linked Parts to MusicXML? Is there a plugin or FinaleScript that will provide this functionality? Thanks, Aaron. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
