What it does

Whether you choose Export Selection or Export Pages, the dialog box settings are the same, except for the title. The only difference is that you’re either exporting a selected region , or exporting an entire page (or range of pages). Use this dialog box to export pages of your score into a graphics file format usable in other programs such as word processing or desktop publishing programs. These files can be saved as PDF, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), JPEG, PNG, or TIFF graphics file types.

Note. Finale automatically displays a file extension as part of the file name: EPS for Encapsulated PostScript files and TIF for TIFF files. If you type a new name replacing the file name and extension, Finale will use the name you enter.

Note. Be aware that the higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting files will be, and your printer may run out of memory. If your printer has trouble printing TIFF files, choose a lower resolution when exporting files—perhaps 300 dpi to match the resolution of your printer, or 72 dpi to match the resolution of your monitor.

Tip. Include Fonts in the EPS file if you will be using the file on a machine that does not have Finale installed.

 

Note. The higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting files will be. If your printer has trouble printing TIFF files, choose a lower resolution when exporting files - perhaps 300 dpi to match the resolution of your printer, or 72 dpi to match the resolution of your monitor.
