You can certainly do it in the purchased version of Acrobat. I don't know about the free version. If you're just merging the pages, it's a trivial operation. I'm sure there's any number of utilities that will do it. I've lost the original post and so have forgotten if this is a Mac or PC question, but there's a utility called docPrint Pro for PC that will combine documents of various types (pdf, ps, eps, doc, rtf, xls, vsd, etc.) and output a combined document of other types (including pdf). You can mix original page sizes as well. After long fights with Finale, I found this easy to use. It's $38. http://www.verypdf.com/artprint/document-converter/help.htm Dennis ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] combining files into a song collection
Thanks to all. I do have the purchased version of Acrobat, and will explore it to find out how this works. Can't be all that hard.

Select all the files you want to include, make sure the order is right, and then you're all set. You can of course add title pages, etc. done in any word processor.

On 14 Jun 2007 at 19:05, Mark D Lew wrote: I agree with the many who recommend not combining all the songs into a single Finale file. However, I think importing into a page layout program is unnecessary. I would do each song in Finale, then make PDFs, then simply stack the PDFs into a single file in Adobe. Well, to me, the hard part of this is two-fold: 1. sometimes you might want a movement to end not at the bottom of a page. You couldn't do that with combind PDFs, since you would be wanting to combine two PDF pages into one. 2. Finale's tools for setting page numbers and headers and footers are just not all that user friendly. If you combine PDF output from Finale, you've got to do all of that within Finale, unless your PDF tools allow the addition of headers/footers and page numbers. I have been calling *forever* for Finale to have a master document structure, so you could put headers and footers into the master document and embed individual files. But I doubt it will ever happen, even though it sounds to me like something very simple. In fact, it wouldn't even have to be a Finale document -- just a function to allow you to chain Finale documents. -- David W.

[Finale] GPO playback - what is wrong?
When using GPO playback sometimes there will be a measure where the playback speeds up momentarily. Sometimes there is a skip with static and pop noise. And most of the time when playback stops there is static and an echo/delay (not reverb) where the last few notes that were played are repeated with static pop noise. There is also a speedup of the first few notes of playback. I've tried toggling match on/off but no improvement. I've also noticed that if I use the mouse to manually play a GPO instrument using the virtual on-screen keyboard GPO NI Virtual Instruments bank editor window it does pretty much the same thing. There is a delay from when a key is pressed until the sound is played, there are static noises and repeats of the notes. It seems like some sort of latency issue but I really don't know. Can someone enlighten? System Specs: Finale 2006c Windows XP SP2 P4 2.4 1G RAM M-Audio 2496 ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I don't know what caused it, but turning off GPO playback cured it. :-) It's gone in Finale2007, if that's any consolation. (probably not) Your machine and mine are just about matched except that my processor is slower (1.8GHZ) and I'm playing back through a Soundblaster Audigy card, so it's not your soundcard, it's definitely a Finale/GPO thing and I'll bet it has to do with RAM and processor speed. -- David H.
