I encountered a peculiar problem in a document I just created.
I had a three page PDF document, which was a form (which I would normally print
and fill in manually). To clarify, this was not a PDF Form, just a printable
document meant to be printed, then fill in the blanks by hand or with an old
fashioned typewriter.
I created three separate PDF documents, one for each page (there are lots of
ways to do this, but the simplest for me was to use pdftk in LINUX).? I then
converted each page to a PostScript document (using pdftops). I then created a
new 3 page document using Scribus.
Next, I imported the three .ps files onto the three blank Scribus pages and
resized them to fit nicely on each page.
Then, I filled in the blanks by creating Text Boxes for the blanks that needed
to be filled in, and typed the required information.
I saved the document, then exported it to PDF.?
The first two pages came out correctly, but the third seemed to have all the
information I had entered into the second page instead of what I had put into
the third page.? I went back to Scribus, but the document looked fine there.
I tried several times, with the same result.
What happened? Is this a bug, or what?
-----------
Workaround:
I deleted the third page, saved the document with a different name, then
started a new one with only page 3.? I then filled this in again by first
importing the third .ps document, then filling in as before and saved it with a
third file name.? I exported that as PDF, and it turned out fine.
I could have combined the second (2 pages) and third (1 page) documents into a
single one if I had wanted to do so by using pdftk but since I only wanted to
print the results, I didn't bother.
Any ideas? Did I do something wrong?
Thanks for any insight.
