I find it very annoying and time consuming having to manually remove the word _SCORE in capital from any pdf I convert on finale via the print/save as pdf command.
Is there any way to convert to PDF without having to edit every single document and tell finale to save it with the exact title I type?
Thanks,
A

What happens if you go to Score Manager > File Info and remove or change Score Name Insert in the bottom left corner.

I always use the Graphics Tool to export as PDF:

Graphics menu > Export Pages…

You have not tried that?
Might be a little faster.

No, I didn't know that even existed. Looks faster and same/similar quality of PDF. (using the same encoder).
Thanks!

Score Manager is under the Window menu, or Cmd-K.
