I use Quark XPress (which is a bit pricy) and eps graphics are wonderful. I often save entire Finale pages as eps docs and they print like lightening. I often use an "expamples" page and use bits and pieces of it as needed with only one eps page as the source...all beautiful and fast. Quark is in

Well, if this is the answer, I probably have two choices: find a copy of Quark at the university that I can use, or leave things alone and let an editor/layout person worry about this later. I kind of hate to do a halfway job, but I also don't want to have to learn another program. I like

Chuck, Are you on Mac? I have noticed for the last few versions that EPS inserts created on the Mac DON'T embed fonts, even though I check the box to embed them. This means that they print and display (if you call that display in recent versions) fine on the computer that created them, and on

I prepare books on a Mac, and for years have used PageMaker with embedded Finale eps. PageMaker is OS9 only and since it does exactly what I need, and since one of my main clients uses it exclusively, I'm not spending hundreds of dollars to acquire a OSX alternative. But because of Finale's eps pr

Hi, Chuck. I can confirm this strange behaviour, it happens also with other programs like Appleworks. Maybe it is a bug... The only solution I can offer is to use TIFF files instead of EPS. 300 dpi will be enough. For preview purposes works perfectly although you will have to prepare EPS files

Hi, as a happy Finalle 2006b user on Windows, having waited for EPS 10 years to work again, and they seem to do... I'm doing fine printing PDFs from Word or Quark Xpress. If you need to, you can always tweak Adobe's PDF settings to get better quality (albeit bigger files, too). Are you sure

I have done a lot of work with Finale as EPS in Word. I find that I can repeat the same steps exactly and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (in the same Word doc). Although it is an extra step, I found 100% results if I opened the EPS files in Illustrator before dragging into Word. -Carolyn

This is interesting. Here on Windows I print PDFs using the normal Adobe printer driver, and the EPSs definitely are included as vector and not as pixel graphics. Interesting also that Coda/Makemusic blamed Windows for a long time for EPS not working, and now it seems that Macs have there own tr
