What must be done to keep the frame from > being visible? i guess you're talking about the thin gray line around the frame. if yes, this is just a visual help in scribus. if you want to set border for the frames, you should open the windows > properties palette, go to the colors "tab" and set a color for the border (eventually, you will have to set a sensible border width in the line tab of the properties palette). finally, going through the tutorial in the scribus wiki (http://wiki.scribus.net) may help understand how scribus works. ciao a.l.e I did a poor job of describing my problem. Here is a second try: My Scribus document includes several images, two of which are irregularly-shaped and have text wrapped around them. One of these irregular images displays correctly when exported to a PDF (Both display correctly in Print Preview), but much of the frame for the other one displays (I don't want either frame to display) in the when exported to a PDF. Both display correctly when printed to a PDF using Adobe Distiller. However, the Bookland barcode causes a missing font error for OCRB. After installing an OCRB font, Distiller returns the following error: Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: gr. Without the Bookland barcode, Distiller produces a good PDF. Tom
