Generating PDF problem

[Arturo]

Hello,

When I create a PDF, some elements don't reflect what the Finale file does.
Please see attachments:
Thanks in advance

I'm talking about the trem. sign NOT about the invisible noteheads

I can reproduce, but it's even worse. Looks like your file was F25.5. I'm on F27.x and here is how the PDF came out (using the graphics tool)

If I reopen your file and don't update articulation preferences, then it's more like what you're seeing:

Now, I haven't made a bowed tremolo in ages in Finale, but what I did was to erase yours, then selected the measure and hit Utility: Apply Articulation and applied what is #33 in my list (YMMV), and here is what I got:

Finale 27.x:

So this seems to be a bug. Anyone else replicating this?

Sorry about that-I was hoping I could fix it for you.

Thanks for your effort trying to solve it !

What OS are you using?

This is an old issue.
It was reported in a thread in 2010, but it may be even older.

Fix:
Do not hide the noteheads.
Instead, move them off the page (vertically or horizontally).
In that way the noteheads will not print, even if they are not "hidden”, technically speaking.

Thanks Peter !

A better solution that I found is to instead of hiding, changing the notehead shape.....
