It's the value on the printer's website, I used the same last time (older Scribus, with slightly larger pages to make the bleed since Scribus did not support it back then), results were OK. > > However when I export a pdf I get each A6 page as an individual page in > the pdf (which is fine for a pdf intended for download).

This lets me export my 8 page document as 8 individual pdfs or as a single one. However I want 4 pages per pdf page: Inside scribus I have the first 4 pages next to each other and the last 4 next to each other the "4-fach gefaltet" (I suppose it's called "4-fold", "folded 4 times" or something in English) document layout setting. The printer will print my document on one sheet of paper, then fold it. They want one pdf page per side of the sheet. > In the Prepress tab you have all the options to output your PDF with the > needed printer's marks, bleed values, etc. Please note the check box > that allows to use the document's bleed values. Thanks. > Don't forget to embed all your fonts, in the Font tab. Hmm, I can only convert to outline, it won't let me embed (was always like that, even in older Scribus versions). Philipp
