I'm typesetting a hymnal. Manual spacing details are crucial.
See attached file. When I print to PDF, it respaces the first line, and I have no idea why. Automatic spacing is turned off.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
Dan
"Print to PDF" respaces the music?

I'm on a Macintosh. I printed out the file using the Mac PDF creator and there was no change in the spacing.
Your profile says you are using Finale 25.2. 25.5 is the current version, so you might consider updating if you haven't already.
How are you making the PDF? Since there are several PDF makers available for Windows, you might try a different one. A further troubleshooting step might be to shut down the computer and restart, just for kicks.
That's what came to mind, anyway. Maybe a Windows user will chime in - I hope you can solve the problem.

Thanks N. I'm on 25.5 but haven't updated my profile.
I will try another PDF tool, but this is Acrobat Pro. It should work!
Thanks,
Dan

It would be interesting if there are differences concerning music spacing when producing PDFs in the three ways...
- File-export-PDF
- print to a PDF creating virtual printer driver
- graphics tool - export pages
