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.

Re: [Finale] PDF problems
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.

Re: [Finale] PDF problems
I am getting really varied results depending on whether I am on a Mac using Firefox or Safari or PC with IE7 or Firefox. Maybe this store software is not a good idea. On the PC the images didn't show in the catalog. Jane Frasier wrote: I have Mac OS 10.5.4, Finale 2008. I have a little clarinet solo that I was printing on tabloid, landscape, 2 up.

[Finale] PDF Problems
Hi group, I had the following problem a couple of years ago and can't find the answer to it in my saved "Help" archieves. Can anyone help me?Am using Fin 2003 and Win98 2nd edition. When I save as to a PDF file, the printout showslines around a graphic here and there. They look like they may be part of a box around the graphic (top and left side, not around the graphic entirely).I had to redo a graphic now and then and am wondering if the lines are from aprevious graphic that wasn't placed exactly where the last one was.These lines don't show on the moniter..just on the printout of the PDFfile. The printout of the Finale file is fine also.Any help would surely be appreciated.Thanks,George Ports ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
