Hi Rihanab, From my experience, I prefere to assume different versions and avoid editing everything in one specific software. With "normal" music writing, things can go right but with specific notation, etc. things can go really wrong and I almost end up redoing everything from the start. Finale and Sibelius have different text fonts and hardly accept each others'. It's not between PC and Mac, it's between Finale and Sibelius. Just make sure you have all the fonts installed and try the preferences menu. You may spend some time there but no guaranties it will work. Be glad you won't have to change from Dorico... That would be a pain!

Boa tarde @Catscout Acima está a explicação do Alex @A_B_C que funciona na perfeição. Dá um pouco de trabalho ao início mas compensa! É só seguir os passos descritos. Força!

Hi Alex, This is great! Thank you again and @benwiggy!

I also own them, just wish I could use them more but would need an intensive course. Then divide it in songs and save them in 2 different folders. Maybe Alex knows a way to vectorize several files at once? That would also save me some time.

Hi Garrett, I know that changing PDF files to vectorized takes a while but if you organize 1 file and run it once, you will have it done fast enough. I am a manager of 2 music publishers and would rather do this and pay one time for Affinity (they are all now with 50% discount!!!!!!) than joining Adobe or trying a cracked version. This solution has worked 100% so far. If Affinity software develops in a good way, well, we will benefit from it for sure!

Dear Alex, It worked quite well! Thanks again

Thank you so much for your extended explanation. I will follow every step. The document you sent was perfect on Publisher! But we have to be honest and say it is a bug on Affinity software, that should be fixed soon. Anyway, thanks again!

Coding, don't understand so much about it... Well, I should send you a troubled one that I've tested before on Publisher. Here is one. document.pdf

Movimentum Pro Thomas Tallis In Memoriam (1991) - cópia.pdf Could you try on this? I downloaded Ghostscript but could not run on Terminal.

Hi A_B_C, Thanks for your reply. It is an idea but as far as I could read, it wasn't 100% efficient. And it looks so difficult, with coding and so on... But I will give it a try! Greetings.

Hi Old Bruce, Thanks for your prompt reply. I completely understand but it is a file format we don't use at all and only Sibelius extracts TIFF directly, not Finale. Indeed, not very practical. Anyway, that's a "half-solution" for now.

Hi Everyone, I'm not the only one having this kind of problem with importing PDFs to Publisher but here's my question. I'm a music score publisher and I definitely love Affinity software because it saved me money and time. What is happening is that every time I import a PDF to Publisher, some strange things happen to the scores: signs appearing, head notes completely away from their place... I don't know if PDFs can be "locked" to avoid these situations and I can solve them inside publisher but imagine I have 60 pages of music on A3 format, with 30 instruments. I need to check every bar on every staff! And there goes the "saved me money and TIME". Could someone help me with this or - Affinity - have this in mind for a coming update? Placing 2 images attached as examples. Thanks and keep the good work!
