[scribus] corrupted pdf exported using python

[kuba kuba]

Ok got it sorted. I need to reinitiate the instance of PDFfile every loop -
then everything works fine :)a.l.e - sorry for the code. I knew pasting is
not the best idea. Can I sent attachments to the mailing list?. Anyway here
is the script if anyone interested.
Cheers!

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import scribus
import string, time
import unicodedata


def remove_accents(str):
    nkfd_form = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', unicode(str))
    only_ascii = nkfd_form.encode('ASCII', 'ignore')
    return only_ascii


layers=scribus.getLayers()

### Set which layers to exclude from eksport
layers.remove('grafika')
layers.remove('cuts')
layers.remove('zapr_calosc')
layers.remove('zawiadomienie')

layers=layers[0:3]


### Some layers have unicode characters - need to remove them
### Otherwise will get heap of errors down the road
layersClean = []
for i in layers:
layer=remove_accents(i)
layersClean.append(layer)

print layers

### Prepare directory path
fileOld=pdf.file
print fileOld
fileList=fileOld.split("/")
fileList.pop(-1)
print fileList
fileDir = "/".join(fileList)
print fileDir

for i in range(0,len(layers)):
### swich on only the layer beeing processed
### this layer will be only exported
setLayerPrintable(layers[i],1)
 ### create instance of the PDFfile class
### Need to be recreated per exported file
pdf = scribus.PDFfile()
print i
 ### use "layersClean" for pdf files naming
fileName = fileDir+"/"+layersClean[i]+".pdf"
#print fileName
pdf.file = fileName
print "pdf fileName to export:", pdf.file
pdf.save()
 ### Switch of the layer export off
setLayerPrintable(layers[i],0)
