You should expect differences in the output between Save As PDF and Save As PS. This would save a lot of time, as plugging the perf notes page into the PDF afterward in 44 parts - not just the first time but after any revisions - is a time-eater, and I’m short on time.Īs I said, I don't have this problem, so I wouldn't go blaming Finale just yet. What I wanted to do was place into Finale a whole-page sized EPS file for the performance notes page, which I’d prefer not to TIFF. This is just with the Save to Postscript option, which I need, unless there is another workaround for getting files with EPS graphics to print.įor the few small graphics in this file, I can use TIFF. I should stress that Save as PDF or Adobe PDF doesn't have this problem - it prints out to the correct size. Yes, I forgot to mention, I also tried changing the default size in Distiller to 10x13, but that has no effect. You can always open the PS file in a text editor, and the page size should be set in the header in points.įinale 2009c, 2Ghz iMac 2Ghz MacBook, 10.6.1Įdirol FA-66 M-Audio Oxygen 61 Yamaha PSR-410 Does this happen both with Preview and Distiller? And you have set the correct page size in Page Setup? And your document's page size is 11 x 13? Distiller has a default page size setting, if none is set in the ps file, and that is normally set to US Letter. This should work properly, as I use this technique on 10.6 with 2009.

I'll contact support as well, but they'll probably just shrug it off as 2009 not being unsupported in 10.6, which may or may not be the problem. There's also a setting there to change the default size - changing that to 10x13 did nothing either, nor would that be a good permanent solution. I was hopeful this would fix it, especially on discovering that in my printer preferences I had the default printer set to 'last used,' but alas, changing this setting had no effect. I read someone's earlier post about changing the default printer to a local printer. Page format in Finale and Page Setup are both at 10x13. When I save as Postscript the ps file uses the page size 8.5x11, cropping the sides of the page. I'm forced to use 'Save as Postscript ' and use Acrobat or Preview to make a PDF due to the EPS export bug in Finale.
