I'm publishing a book of waltzes of about 80 pages, using Finale on the PC. Naturally, most print shops use Macs and do not have a copy of Finale on their system.
Has anyone found an easy way to export Finale files to something that Mac-based commercial print shop can use?
Obviously, I want to make sure that all the little subtleties of the Finale layouts I've worked to hard on will be accurately preserved as the print shop goes to film.
Thanks in advance for any tips!

I have been using Adobe PDF distiller. The output is excellent and most printers can accept them. You have to get the PDF distiller software from Adobe's site, then install it. It works like a printer only prints to a file instead of a printer, then you can print from Adobe Acrobat Reader (which is free).

Have they finally made it completely compatible with Finale? I remember having lots of trouble with it years ago and gave up.
