I do think it is weird: There's anumber of problems with the current situation: - n-fold, etc options in the new document dialog are currently totally useless when designing something that will be printed. - To create the pdf pages Scribus just takes all the elements which intersect a page and places them on it. It could just do same with a bigger paper size than the displayed pages. - If you want a document both be printed and as a pdf for the Web (common with manuals, etc) you have to create the document twice: One divided into the logical pages for the web, once divided into the paper sheets for the printer. I think support for placing all pages of a side of an n-fold onto a pdf page is as important for printing as is bleed. Philipp
