Re: [Finale] pdf printing resolved

[nraspa]

The pdf printing problem, at least for me and for the time being, has 
been resolved. I just returned from my 3rd trip to Kinkos and they were 
able to open up the pdf file on their windows operating system.


 In order to resolve the problem, I took the good advice I received 
from this list and converted all my files first to postscript and then 
used the distiller to create the pdf for each file from those 
postscript files. I still assembled the resulting pdfs in acrobat v4 as 
I did before and the clerk at Kinkos was able to open the file with no 
problems. Thanks to all that responded to my cry for help. By the way, 
the original error message Kinkos received on the first file was 
"unable to locate original file".


 I still don't understand why a product. touted as "universal" would 
require such a workaround. The pdf files seem, at least in this case, 
to act more like a host rather than a stand alone file, however, at 
least now the problem is solved. Thanks again to all who responded!

No, no. As I said "long years ago", it was way before OSX. I think I
was with Acrobat 4 on both Win and Mac. The problem seems to come when
you output to distiller driver from apps.

This sounds like the PDF was referencing another file which you didn't 
include (or for which the path name was incorrect).

Re: [Finale] pdf printing resolved

I suppose that is possible.  I used three different programs to create 
the various files.  I also have graphics, created in a draw program, 
embedded in some of the Finale documents. I thought, however, that 
creating a pdf would take care of all that.  I have, in the past, 
created web pages which require that certain documents referenced in 
the web page are located in the same folder.  I didn't realize pdfs 
work in a similar fashion.
