problem when exporting to pdf....

New post

I have two movements, created as separate files, that I want to merge into one pdf. the easiest thing for me to do is merge the pdfs after exporting them... but, for some reason, the exported pdfs aren't the same size... so, when merged, they look odd & unprofessional. (the 2nd movement is much smaller-looking than the 1st. in acrobat reader, it appears as if they would be completely different paper sizes. I tried merging them within finale & I got the exact same visual effect.)

I'm not sure what setting is different between these two project files that's making them export at a different scale. please help!! thanks much.

if you haven't tried already ask in the old forum - many very knowledgeable users are staying there until it's shut down

I have a file that I need to have as a pdf for printing. When I export, it tells me that a font is not supported and will be replaced with Engraver Text X. Only one option which is to choose DONE. Once I do that the file crashes and I have to exit the program and start over. When I select file it says not responding, so I am in a loop and I cannot get a pdf file.

Please advise.

There are 2 ways to create a PDF file from a Finale document.

Did you try both of them?

1) Graphics Tool.

Graphics menu > Export Pages…

2) “Print” to a PDF file.

By The Way:

Are you using Windows Finale or Mac Finale?

I am using Windows 10

Since you are using Windows 10, I suggest that you use third party software to “print” to PDF.

Try e. g. CutePDF.

When choosing print to a pdf file only the first page is created as pdf. How do I get it to scan/transform the complete work?

KEMARA SKINNER Posted March 28, 2017 14:38

I am not understanding why I got an email with this answer, Are you telling me if I use the print to pdf it only does the first page......and How do I get it to scan/transform complete work? is a question for me or someone else. I am confused by this post.

Kemara,
If you add to a thread, by default the Zendesk software gives you e-mail responses unless you shut them off, which you can do for each thread (separately--bummer) by clicking a link in the e-mail.
