Finale Forum

I want to save a Finale file as pdf. Here are my settings:

Page Layout > Page Size… > Tabloid (27.94 x 43.18)

File > Page Setup… > Paper Size US Letter 216 by 279mm

This is a capture of the Print window.


When I click PDF I get this message:

"The size of some pages in this document does not
match the size of the pages in the printer. Do you
wish to continue?"

After I click Yes, the resulted pdf file looks like this…


… instead of this:


What am I doing wrong?

Tabloid (279 x 432 mm) is not Letter (216 x 279). Paper sizes should be identical.

I want to keep the Finale file in Tabloid size and to save it as a Tabloid sized pdf file. Is there a way to do that?

The tabloid paper size should be defined in 3 places :
• Document -> Page Format -> Score -> Page Size. To apply it, Page Layout -> Redefine Pages -> All pages
• File -> Page Setup -> Paper Size
• File -> Print -> Paper size

finalizer,

Instead of “printing” to a PDF file you can also use Finale’s Graphics Tool to Export Pages as a PDF file.
Exporting via the Graphics Tool might be a little faster, and you will get a smaller PDF file, in true {Black-and-White}.

michelp , Peter Thomsen , Thanks! It worked, both ways.
