How to re-enable printing to PDF with Finale 2009 after upgrading to Snow Leopard

By Jaems • Aug 31st, 2009 • Category: Tutorials

If you just upgraded to Snow Leopard, but you haven’t re-installed your printer yet, you may be having trouble printing PDF files from Finale 2009. This will normally result in blank pages.  If your business is sharing sheet music, then this is a big problem. Finale has a workaround listed here:

This should re-enable PDF printing.  I suspect that printing to PDF might work if you re-install your printers as well (instead of using the dummy printer above) but I’m not sure. Either way, letting the dummy printer sit there isn’t necessarily going to be that much of a problem.   The problem will be fixed in Finale 2010.

Consider yourself lucky to get 09 to work at all with SL. I spoke with Finale tech today and they said it is “not compatible” and to try uninstalling and reinstalling and that even then “It’s a crapshoot”.
