On the Mac, look for it under the Print routine.

(No idea why; I usually use the Windows version.)

Adrian is correct; on a Mac, it’s in the print dialogue. However, Finale’s PDF routine is suspect. Use the graphics tool to export the file as a PDF. This will also give you a smaller file.

 Because it's not there

Yes but as a grey scale only. Inkjet printers can handle this fine but some laser printers cannot.

It's also the only way to print true black if you have a laser printer that cannot handle greyscale. Go to the Graphics menu, Export, then chose pdf.

Yep, different from Windows. After 4 years, it's probably not a bug but it would be nice if MM told us why they do it this way. Nicer would be the option to print true black as in the Print menu as was last seen in Finale 2014.5.

No one knows why except for MakeMusic and they're not saying. Yep, different from Windows. After 4 years, it's probably not a bug but it would be nice if MM told us why they do it this way. Nicer would be the option to print true black as in the Print menu as was last seen in Finale 2014.5.

I don't use the Finale PDF routine anyway. I long ago bought a separate PDF routine that works through my Print routine. I use it for lots more than Finale.

Hi Adrian,

please tell us the name of the PDF program that you bought for the PDF export function. Thanks
