[Scribus] Setting linescreen when printing pdf file

[Rainer Heilke]

I wish I could help you, but it's been some time since I had to work 
with PhotoShop at the printing shop. Like I said, three lives ago... I 
wonder if this is all PhotoShop (probably), or also something to do with 
how the printer is seeing the file (less likely, but...).

It's nice to see the developers working so hard at it. They're doing a 
great job, and maybe they'll get your dilemma solved in time.

As a side note, I've been waiting ten years for a Unix/Linux DTP program 
(aside from the old PageMaker for Solaris that was $US5000), and the 
Scribus project is amazing. I just wish I could help more by 
programming, but a programmer I am not. :-(  Not that I have time on my 
hands during the summer, but in the fall...?
