Re: [Finale] Can a PDF file be imported back into finale?

What you can do is print it out and scan it as a TIF, and then import it that way. Or if you have the full version of Acrobat (or something similar), you can save the PDF directly as a TIF and import that; this will probably give you better quality than printing and scanning. In either case, make sure you've got the right setting for your image. Finale asks for 300-600dpi, b/w or greyscale (no color), and no compression.

Things like text editing can be done. For actual music manipulation...no. Well, technically all of the music characters in a Finale PDF *are* just text, characters in the Maestro font (or whatever). I just tried this, and with the text edit tool you can select individual notes and do things to them. But I'm not sure you could do anything *useful* without spending a lot of time on it. Anyway, I think the question was about importing a PDF into Finale directly, not editing it directly in Acrobat.
