How to fix blurry PDF font problems when exporting from Finale to PDF:

In this case, I used Academic Let Engraved, but this should work for

other fonts as well.

The following should be done with the Finale version to be converted

to a PDF open on your screen.

To replace the fonts:

1) Go to Document  > Data Check > Font Utilities

2) Click Search for this font and click Select

3) Choose Engraver Font Set  and click OK

4) Click the Select button for Replace Font With and

5) Choose Academic Let Engraved  and click OK.

6) Click Apply to Fonts in Shapes   

7) Click OK.

Hi Mike: I use this font for titles at the tops of music pages and for the titles in the lyrics. In transferring from a Finale file to a pdf this font went blurry. The instructions for solving this problem didn't work (and also gave steps that couldn't be done -- such as typing in fonts when there was no place to type them in), so I modified the instructions and was able to finish the 109 page Stephen Foster Songbook I had been working on for two years.

Nice display at fontsgeek. Clay
