I'm trying to arrange a song for choral performance, but... I need to be able to bind PDF pages, such as the last page and the first page, to make a sheet booklet, and so fourth, so, it would still go pages 1, 2, 3, etc, but it would be using less paper, and it would be in the standard format choral music is in, the open booklets, as well as be able to bind the front page with an image and a title, as well as a credits page on back with text. Help, please? It would be greatly appreciated, since adobe sucks and we all know it.

Use the Page Layout Tool.
Page Layout -> Page size
Check "Landscape"

I don't have finale 2012 installed on this laptop so that could be inaccurate but that's the basic idea.

then you don't have a version of finale that can do this and will need someone else to do so.

Finale Notepad 2012, I assume? When you make a new sheet, at the Document Setup Wizard, you can choose "Landscape" right under the Page Size box.

EDIT: I think I didn't read your question that well, but you can't change portrait sheets into landscape. For that you would need to re-arrange the whole sheet.

Did anyone even read the post? I want to combine the pages, to make a booklet. How choral music is arranged.
In
A
BOOKLET
I want a cover and a back, all on the same page, on the other side, the first and last pages of the piece, and so on. So I use HALF the amount of paper. Get it? Get it now? Not make the entire thing landscape, still have the portrait form, but have the pages occupy and share a physical page. Get it?
Jeeze, everything is more annoying when you're on your guy period (if there really is one, I might just be b*tchy these past few days..) and repeating myself is the most aggravating thing during this time. I don;t know how I could have made it any clearer in the first post.

Wow, could you be any more rude?

Yeah really -__-  the title of this thread majorly contradicts the post.  Most of us just looked at the title and were like, "Whoop!  Know how to fix his problem!"  and posted to help you out.

I could be wrong, but Finale doesn't do this. Finale is designed for music notation and quick printing, not publishing which is essentially what you are asking for. Also, admonishing people who are trying to help you voluntarily is a good way to ensure nobody will ever help you again.

Outside of Finale you would need to make the sheets into PDFs and work with those to make the booklets you want. No, I don't know how to that, because I don't publish music.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

I'm TRYING to find out how to do it as a .pdf! And I can be ruder, but I choose not too. This is the nicest I can get right now. It's just repeating myself over and over. I'm extremely b*tchy at the moment due to other problems, and some major issues just to get my damned degree... I'm trying to do something nice for someone by re-arranging a song into a choral piece, and this is just a real pain.... Does anyone here know what I'm talking about, ergo been in a choir and dealt with these sheet booklets?? I'm just looking for a software that could help me do this, or some other means of getting it done... I don't know how to contact Coldplay for copyright shtuff and legal matters, therefore cannot publish it, and need others means to accompish this. Does this clarify it better?....
