That method on the wiki is somewhat out of date. Scribus can import spot colors via the Edit > Colors from other documents. In 1.3.4cvs, you can import spot colors of all kinds directly from EPS, PS and even some .ai files. The issue you are hitting is the way the spot colors are embedded in the PDF. That should work fine in 1.3.4. Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
