When I try to make a PDF from Finale 2k9 Mac I only get an empty page. I
can print to a PS Laser printer without problems, but both using the
Acrobat Distiller printer driver, or the direct PDF option in the print
dialog gives me an empty page.
Has anyone come across this?

Reading on the Forums I find that this is actually a bug. And what a
bug. Does anyone have a fix for this, which allows me to use Distiller
without having to go through hoops?

printing. I used to use a

Well, David, you're on the right track. It's not that the modes
derived from the keyboard, but rather that the keyboard derived from
the modes.
It's true that the modes predate keyboards, having been originally
sung and played on stringed instruments, lyres, lutes, etc.
When the keyboard was

Well. I certainly get the feeling that they actually fix things, whereas
it seems with MakeMusic each version of Finale introuces more bugs. The
worst ones seem to get fixed with the next payed
Finale does have a little window of time where if you buy an upgrade and
the next one comes out soon they will give it to you for the price of
postage. I had paid for 2008 not long before 2009 and I was able to get
them to give me 2009. It is worth a try.

It fits surprisingly well in that you haven't actually finished it yet.
Johannes,
Granted, I was being a tad flip on my previous post, but the intent
remains the same. I do feel your frustration about the upgrade$,
