Yes. you need to have Adobe acrobat installed. after that the only thing you need to do is go to file/print and choose Adobe PDF as a printer. thats all. and it will ask you where you want to save it

no it doesn't show up as a printer, which is odd, becasue it opens up pdf files, any ideas on where to get this acrobat thing?

You buy it in a store or from adobe.com.
Or you can send the .MUS to a member with Acrobat who will do it for you (Marius or myself for example)
Or you can go online, I'm sure there are PDF making sites.

Well, if you need it, PM it to me exactly how you want it and i'll send it back PDF. If not, i'm pretty sure that theres a standard score format compatible with the two but I think only Sib. creates it.
