Hi Andreas! Thank you for your time and suggestions.

Thank you for your suggestion - I'll look into a greyscale profile. > Did your printer ask specifically for X-3 compatibility? No. In fact, they seemed quite confused by the term - I don't think they actually know what it is. I selected PDF/X-3 because from my research, it seemed the most reliable way to ship a print-ready document. I thought this decision was confirmed when the printer asked for bleed, and I saw the PDF/X-3 options apparently included control over this. However, someone has posted instructions to me on creating bleed in a regular scribus document, so I will try to set this up correctly, and send it to the printer. I must say that the 'trim box' in the PDF/X-3 options certainly seemed a simpler way of doing it - if indeed that does create bleed for me. Q: Is there any way of including some 'bleed' control in regular (non-PDF/X-3) PDF creation, and is it worth a feature request? Cheers! Nik
