I know what you mean about the naked skin - and I'm glad we don't have any ratings to worry about in these modern times :-)
Hyphenation in the text frames? The text frames are all linked and I set up hyphenation originally. Did I lose something when I combined the chapters into a single file without realising it, perhaps? Sighs deeply... Can you give me an example to chase up? Colour profiles -> SuSe and other distros, I finally noticed that, *after* I'd posted... Fixing the dark PDF/X-1a display via the monitor is a good hint to have, I should fix the description. pdf-preflight and PDF/X is certainly worth integrating, possibly as an optional add-on to the existing preflight tool/s in Scribus? -- Ciao Richard Foley Supporting Naked Activities http://www.naktiv.net On Sat, Sep 01, 2012 at 08:02:54AM +0200, "Christoph Sch?fer" wrote: > Hi Richard, > > Let me add a few remarks. > > > It's absolutely a Scribus success story, and I've documented it here: > > > > > > http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Success_stories#The_World_Naked_Bike_Ride_Book_.28160_pages_and_250_full_colour_photographs.29 > > Given a discussion we had on this list a few years ago, a discussion centered > around a tutorial that involved images of ancient Indian statues that > displayed (horror of horrors) bare female breasts, i.e., one of the most > natural characteristics shared by all female mammals on earth, I wonder if we > have to add an "X-Rated" warning to the wiki front page now ;) > > On a more serious note, looking at the picture of the book, I noticed that > you didn't apply hyphenation to your text frames, which leaves some ugly > holes in the text -- something to consider for the next edition. > > > LSI accepted the exported PDF/X-1a without complaint, all colours are > > printed fine, on the full colour cover, as well as throughout the entire > > book which includes 250 photographs, logos, posters and images.
