Hi The "Adobe Acrobat" section of the "DTP ToolBox" node (under the "Hints for Scribus Users") of the Scribus documentation (that comes bundled with the Scribus 1.2.2cvs) says:
"We are aware of one color mismatches with RGB images and transparency in PDf 1.4. Yes, this has been duly reported as a bug to Adobe too." Would you elaborate more on it? Does it imply that embedding non-transparent RGB images in PDF 1.4 will not cause problems? Do _indexed_ PNG images also come in the "RGB image" category? Personally, I suppose not because in common graphics software "indexed" and "RGB" are treated as two different modes. Please clarify if I am wrong. Does it imply that exporting a PDF 1.4 with embedded "indexed PNG" (with no transparency) images won't cause problems? Somewhere in the same node/section, the documentation says: "If you are creating Scribus files with transparency effects and export PDF 1.4 (PDF 1.3 does not support transparency), you can enable Show Transparency Grid. " Does it mean that exporting PDF 1.3 from Scribus with embedded images, transparent or otherwise, won't cause problems - considering the text quoted earlier? Does it also mean that exporting PDF 1.3 with embedded RGB images, with or without transparency effects, will get rid of the bugs, mentioned in the text quoted earlier, altogether? Further, it would be of great help if the bug mentioned in the text quoted above could also be clearly explained further so that the documentation can be traced back to the original problem (and the related (original) causes as well) in addition to correlating the problem with similar problems being discussed on other mailing lists. Please elaborate. TIA Asif -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20050429/102d118a/attachment.html
