The original pdf file he gave me had 208 pages. I found that the page number on page 14 had overflowed creating an otherwise blank page. So I deleted that page and now I am down to 207 pages. As you know one of the reasons we don't typeset books in word processors is that page breaks vary all over the place. When I fired up his doc file in Libre writer the page count grew to 335 or so. If my customer is innocent in areas of real setup programs I am equally ignorant in matters involving word processors. I last used one back when OS 2 was first introduced. I don't plan on educating myself just for this one job. I tried fighting my way through the instructions for Libre Office Writer but someone had gotten enamoured with a fancy tree structure when a plain document would have done just fine. Bottom line I am working from the pdfs the customer furnishes me. The original one was produced at true page size but more recent ones have those tick etc. marks in a border outside the true page size. No doubt my customer was trying to be helpful. I don't want to burst his bubble. He thinks I walk on water. In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. Just call me Cyclops. If you have read this far without deleting this missive my thanks for your patience. BTW the reason I am running his pdfs through Scribus 1.5.0 is that the pdfs have the type set in blue text. When you submit to print on demand printers color pages shoot the cost per copy way up. He doesn't care about the blue so I am copying the pdf p[age by page and saving with grayscale enabled. The book was previously published by an offset house Back to the salt mines. -- 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/!
