PDF Creation for Printer

Dorico
1

1-On the Print tab,I can choose Printer and then Microsoft Print to PDF, or I can just choose Graphics and then PDF. Which is better?

2-I want the printer to print the full score on 11x17" paper. Don’t I need to choose that somewhere before creating the PDF, or will the score scale correctly at the printer?

UPDATE: It looks like I choose the paper size in LAYOUT and I guess TABLOID is 11x17.

Thank you.

I would recommend using Dorico’s own built-in graphics export. You can always be sure that the exported PDF will match precisely the page setup defined in Layout Options.

The printer just printed a proof copy and your advice was 100% correct. :slightly_smiling_face:
