I will bundle a readme.txt with the files. I've managed to produce a PDF 1.3 file without transparency to be used as a last resort. The artwork was modified (see below) and it doesn't quite look as good, but it will print. *sigh* BTW, I've checked the release announcements again: "We now recommend all distributions package 1.3.3.5+ from now o?n." from 1.3.3.5 release suggests that 1.3.3.5+ versions are considered stable. Anyway, apart from some features that I miss (which have all been reported by others at the bugtracker) I find 1.3.3.7 quite stable. > answer 2: ( a guess :) It may be that pdf 1.3 doesn't support > transparencies? I have recreated the original artwork to look as close to original as possible but without using transparencies. A bit more work than I originally planned for, but it seems like the only option. I've seen a request for transparency flattener at the bugtracker. Hope it makes it into 1.3.5 or something closer to now than future. :) > answer 3: Supply him with a copy of scribus :) Yes, that's exactly what I'll have to do. I can't seem to export a usable EPS (usable would be editable in this case). I'll also give him Inkscape. Maybe throw in a GIMP there as well. :D Good thing about free software, indeed. I hope he won't expect me to train him, tho. :) > answer 4: Got no idea. I'll try to find out.....later Thanks. Best regards, Branko
