I sell sheet music online, and I frequently save my Finale documents via the "Export as PDF" function for this purpose. However, anytime I have triplets in my music, unwanted "threes" appear on the margins of the page after exporting to PDF. (I've attached an image of the problem.) Any ideas on how to get rid of this?

This is a frequently-asked question. Don't use File/Export/PDF--it's buggy. Some people have better luck doing it from the graphics tool, but I can recommend getting a PDF virtual printer like CutePDF (free) and creating your PDF that way.
