To the question thus posed, assuming a direct export from Finale, the answer is probably NO.
However, if additional software is used, (I mean Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and Photoshop) then YES.
In recent years, almost every project I work on has to be presented this way - with a papyrus or other graphic texture type "embossed" backgound and the score over it.
Below I share my humble approach, without defining it as the right or easiest. The steps described give a subjective idea of whether, according to the goals set, this method can be considered successful, on the one hand, or, on the other, so laborious that one should rather give up or look for an alternative solution.
1. It is desirable, though not obligatory, that the original format of the score in Finale should be in a 3:4 or 4:3 (portrait or landscape) aspect ratio, and the margins on all sides should not be large, say 6-8 mm.
2. In Photoshop, prepare a background for the iPad Pro 12,9" by creating a new file of size 2048*2732 pix or 2732*2048 pix (depending on whether the score will be portrait or landscape), 8 bit RGB.
3. Assume that a backgound has already been selected - either MS paper from Finale or another type of BMP file (papyrus, parchment or whatever). Usually these files are as small as pixels and they should be cloned, being glued to each other so that when they are placed on the white or transparent background (of the new file) they can fill it all. Stretching is not appropriate. Basically, this procedure creates new and new layers, which are finally reduced to just one using the Flatten Image command (from the Layers menu). The above preparation takes a little longer (up to 2-3 minutes), but it is done only once and then used to produce all score pages.
4. The score created in Finale is exported as a PDF.
4.a The PDF file is opened in Acrobat Pro DC.
Via Preflight
4.b the command "all fonts are converted to outlines" is selected
4.c the colour profile must be black and white: so "Digital printing (B/W)" is selected
4.d from Organise pages, Extract pages as separate files is applied.
*In the Acrobat Pro DC versions there is an option to insert a backgroup from a file, but it must be created anyway as described in point 3. This would be sufficient if no white masks are used in the Finale file, otherwise the effect would not be good. I therefore prefer the more elaborate way, the description of which follows.
5. In Photoshop, open the background file. For convenience, guide lines are placed on all sides, which will subsequently serve as landmarks. This is not a prerequisite, but having them always helps to ensure that all the score pages to be placed on the next layer are perfectly positioned.
6. If the score is to say 10 pages, the background file is copied 10 times with names corresponding to the order of the pages.
7. Again in Photoshop, each individual page of the PDF is imported. The Image Size specifies the size in pixels. You have to experiment a bit more here, but generally speaking, at a resolution of 72 pix/inch, you can set values close to those of the iPad, i.e. a bit less than 2732*2048. At this point, adjustments can be made to fit within acceptable frames for the next step.
8. After converting to BMP image, paste PDF page on background file with MS paper. From Window/Layers select Multiply with Opacity 100% . This is only necessary if white masks are used in the score for any reason.
9. Finally, from the Layers menu, Flatten Image is applied.
10. SAVE!
Repeat this procedure according to the number of individual score pages.
11. In Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (or in Preview on a Mac), all pages are collected and merged into a single PDF file.

Apart from the MS-background preparation itself and the preliminary procedures in 2-5 (which can initially amount to 10-15 minutes until one gets a routine), the execution of each page takes about 15-20 seconds if additional layering is required.
The result at the end is similar to this:

Due to the use of "Multiplay" in the placement of the score page layer, the grey circles appear transparent in a way that the texture of the background is preserved.
Surely there are other successful approaches for this purpose, but at least for the moment I can only suggest this one.
I hope the above can help.
