[Scribus] Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 is out ...

[Tariq Rashid]

perhaps someone who has a contact in adobe can find out for sure?

(that's the problem with propritary code - even if the standard is open)

ultimately i guess what will matter is what the prining bureaus do.

Actually i keep finding the rendering of RGB pdf produced by scribus
a lot different on acroreader 5 and 7.
I include two screenshots of the same file.
It's a rgb document generated on scribus using the album script i
modified and saved "for the web".
Acrobat Reader 7.0 has got a strong shift in colors (towards blue
maybe?) and pictures are quite darker, with a lot of contrast.
I notice differences on CMYK pdf documents too, but less eveident.
