[scribus] Flattening layers?

[Murray Strome]

Here is an easier way:

I had a newsletter that was 21MB. Following the above instructions, it was reduced to 2.1MB and I could not see any degradation!

Good luck.

I use Scribus 1.3.3.11 in Ubuntu Linux (Gutsy Gibbon) on a computer with a  AMD
Athlon 64 processor.
I composed my first newsletter in Scribus following the examples in the
tutorial, using two layers for the constant and variable contents.

When I exported the final product (8 pages) to PDF I received error warnings.
They referred to missing images and such, none of which seemed to be the case. I
chose to ignore the warning and the document exported correctly to pdf format. I
made sure the images were being reduced to 72 dpi and the output intended for
Web/Screen purposes.
The file size of the pdf document was about 2.8 MB which seemed to be
excessive. I thought it might help to flatten the original document to a single
layer before exporting to pdf. That might also resolve the error warnings.
QUESTION: How do you flatten multiple layers to a single one? I can't find
any ways to do that. If it can't be done I'll lay out the next
newsletter issue in a single layer and see if that helps.
