I don't know really... I know that it isn't recommended. I started out  
with PDF 1.3, wich didn't work, so I mailed them an X-3, and they  
didn't complain about it, so I just went on with that. Maybe I'll go  
back to PDF 1.3?

Should I then set Scribus to downsample images to 256 ppi when I  
export the PDF?

I will give You that info in a week or two, because the person who  
have struggled with my files aren't at work the next week...

Very kindful! How do You want the file? PDF 1.3 with all my embedded fonts and
ICC-profiles?

Best regards!
