I used Finale a long time ago and have just started using it again. I am using Finale 2011! How do i export a file as PDF? If I get a free PDF maker, will Finale recognise this and simply print as PDF or create a PDF?
Also, I used to be able to open up the online help file from the program, but now it doesn't open up for me, though it did a few weeks ago.
Thanks for your help

Yes, get CutePDF.
I've got Finale 2011 and the online manual still opens for me. In Preferences/Folders, make sure "use online manual" is checked.

Sorry--it's called Program Options in Finale 2011. Look at the bottom of the Edit menu.
