Dear All: Big problem. My community newspaper is due to start publication a week on Friday. I have sent previous Scribus-produced PDFs to my commercial printers before and he told me that they were to his specs and that they would print no problem. Last week I uploaded all 16 PDF pages and today was meant to go and look at the printed proofs. He's now telling me that - while they can open the PDFs without any difficulties - when the try to place them on their RIP the processor won't read them. He's trying to figure out what the problem is. Any of you guys any thoughts? Here are links to a colour PDF page: http://www.southsidemedia.org/page1proof.pdf and a mono PDF page: http://www.southsidemedia.org/page2proof.pdf
When exporting the PDFs from Scribus I used the following options: General: Export range: All pages Compatibility: PDF 1.3 Binding: Left margin Tick boxes unchecked: Generate Thumbnails; Save linked text frames as PDF articles; include bookmarks; include layers. Resolution for EPS Graphics: 300 dpi Tick box checked: Compress text and vector graphics Compression method: JPG Compression quality: High Tick box unchecked: Resample images to (all photos saved as JPGs at 150 dpi) Fonts: Tick box checked: Embed all fonts Colour: Output intended for : Greyscale (for mono pages) Output intended for: Printer (for colour pages) (For colour pages) Tick box checked: Convert spot colours to process colours Tick box checked: Use Custom Rendering Settings Black: Frequency 75: Angle 45: Spot function Round Cyan: Frequency 75: Angle 15: Spot function Round Magenta: Frequency 75: Angle 75: Spot function Round Yellow: Frequency 75: Angle 0: Spot function Round Thanks folks, David --------------------------------- Play Santa's Celebrity Xmas Party, an exclusive game from Yahoo! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
