Re: [Finale] MacOSX Inserting EPS

I don't believe you need to have anything extra installed. This specific issue is not one I looked into...I just ASSumed since so many other EPS issues were fixed in 2007 that this was fixed also. I'll look into this when my copy arrives. Steve On 8/8/06 10:03 AM, "Robert Patterson" <[EMAIL PROTE

Re: [Finale] EPS printing woes

Title: Re: [Finale] EPS printing woes Yes. We had the same problem. The solution is to throw all of those EPS files on to Acrobat Distiller on an OS9 machine and turn them into PDFs. Then manually relink the EPS files within InDesign to the newly created PDF files. It’s a bit of a pain but it

I believe this has been fixed in 2007! Most of the EPS issues have been fixed in 2007 (at least on the MAC side, I'm not sure about Windows). PDFs coming out perfect with either built-in PDF creator or Acrobat distiller. Steve On 8/7/06 5:17 PM, "Robert Patterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I

RE: [Finale] 2007 Announced!!

Yes. And a majority our beta testers still have PPC based macs. It's pretty much representative of the industry I think. People are buying Intel macs, but not dumping their perfectly functioning G4's and G5's to do it. (or in my case, getting to have both ;-P) > -Original Message- > From:

[Finale] Time Signatures in Text Expressions

I know that Finale is capable of pretty much any notational need -- as long as I can figure out how to do it. But I'm having trouble with this one: I want a text expression that reads "At Cue, 12/8 Feel" with the 12/8 looking like a regular (but smaller) time signature. I'm sure there's a way, b
