I had no problem printing my document yesterday, it's not the fonts. I can see the text on the document, I can add more images, and I can edit what's there as much as I want. But, as soon as I select "View >>> Preview Mode" the document turns blank. It all disappears in front of my eyes. I've exported to PDF at least three different times today and my colleagues have opened up blank PDF files in Acrobat.
I've tried exporting to JPG -- blank I've tred exported to PDF -- blank I've printed directly from Scribus -- blank I had none of these problems yesterday. I made no changes to any of my settings. The only thing that's different is that I installed ghostscript today. Should I uninstall ghostscript and reinstall? This document is nothing that will be mass produced, it's for an eBook for work, but I've spent the better portion of today dealing with it not printing when I wanted to be finished with it. -----Original Message----- From: John Culleton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 1:12 PM To: scribus at lists.scribus.net Subject: Re: [scribus] Blank Preview On Tue, 10 Feb 2015 13:43:57 -0500 "Ana Ferrer" <ana at movers.com> wrote: > I'm having issues exporting, printing and previewing my document.

But printing a book directly from Scribus is not one of them. Instead export your book as a pdf file and then view that pdf file in Acrobat Reader (free program). If it looks ok there then you can go to print. Fonts can be a problem, especially the 16 free fonts found in many desktop printers. Also the free fonts that come with MSWindows are best avoided. Scribus comes with many free fonts that are useful and a whole gaggle of fonts set up for Oriental languages that you can skip over (unless of course you happen to need them.) Try the Deja Vu family or the Liberation family or the Numbus family and If you get blank pages in Acrobat Reader visit the Properties choice under the File Menu of AR and look in to the Fonts submenu under that. It is my wild guess that some or all of the fonts you are using are not embedded. The above mentioned Fonts submenu will answer that question. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/! ___ Scribus Mailing List: scribus at lists.scribus.net Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
