I wrote a newsletter about 2 months ago using Scribus (1.3). Thanks
firstly to those who helped with my numerous issues importing SVG/EPS
graphics to get tables in.
When it eventually came back from the printers I've never been so
ashamed in all my life. The print quality bwas appalling. From what I
can gather they couldn't get it to print at all, and the best I can
guess to describe how they fixed it was the copy the pages that wouldn't
print from Acrobat as images and paste them into a new document...
...the result was loads of pages that looked like they'd been dot-matrix
printed! We've been tryign to investigate what went wrong
(unfortunately I don't deal with the printers I provide someone the file
on CD and they deal...) and today I've been building a layer by layer
pdf to find the problem staring with just plain text, then adding SVG's,
lines etc... each time exporting a new pdf.
I appear to have created a pdf that simply refuses to print. It opens
fine in LinuxAcrobatReader7 - but when you print it the printer rejects
the job. Tried two different printers -same problem. The file has a
TIFF graphic in it. I've changed that to a JPEG of the same image and
it works fine ... ...is this a known bug with either scribus or acrobat?
