I wrote a newsletter about 2 months ago using Scribus (1.3). Thanks firstly to those who helped with my numerous issues importing SVG/EPS graphics to get tables in.
When it eventually came back from the printers I've never been so ashamed in all my life. The print quality bwas appalling. From what I can gather they couldn't get it to print at all, and the best I can guess to describe how they fixed it was the copy the pages that wouldn't print from Acrobat as images and paste them into a new document... ...the result was loads of pages that looked like they'd been dot-matrix printed! We've been tryign to investigate what went wrong (unfortunately I don't deal with the printers I provide someone the file on CD and they deal...) and today I've been building a layer by layer pdf to find the problem staring with just plain text, then adding SVG's, lines etc... each time exporting a new pdf. I appear to have created a pdf that simply refuses to print. It opens fine in LinuxAcrobatReader7 - but when you print it the printer rejects the job. Tried two different printers -same problem. The file has a TIFF graphic in it. I've changed that to a JPEG of the same image and it works fine ... ...is this a known bug with either scribus or acrobat? Calum
