The main print is done on a s/w laser printer, so colors don't matter that much. But some re-prints will be done in color and I therefore wanted to have everything complete for not having to create a second version. PDF/X just makes me feel better I haven't forgotten anything. As long as Scribus work correctly I know fonts are embedded and I can't forget it (as I could with PDF 1.4). But no matter if I create PDF/X or PDF 1.4, the page order wasn't done right :-) > Also I would suggest using Multivalent to make the imposition.
