<h4>Updates</h4>
<p>Resene color collections are updated on a regular basis, and thanks to an arrangement with the company, Scribus users will receive updated versions of the palettes with every new Scribus release. As you have already learned, this won’t affect documents that use older palette versions, since they are <a href="color1.html">stored in the documents themselves</a>, from which they can be imported into your current file. If you, for whatever reason, need to use an older Resene color set, perhaps even a palette that pre-dates the inclusion of Resene palettes in Scribus, you can <a href="http://www.resene.co.nz/comn/services/cad_colour_books.htm">download</a> the palette as an AutoCAD color book file (*.acb) and use <a href="toolbox17.html">Swatchbooker</a> to convert it into a Scribus XML palette file.</p>

<li>Users saving from Adobe Illustrator 9.0 or later are urged to either export to EPS versions compatible with Illustrator version 7 or less <b>or</b> use Illustrator’s native AI format for import into Scribus.

<h3>Special EPS files</h3>

Their only content is a list of colors. Other examples are symbol or pattern libraries for Adobe Illustrator.

+<b>Recommended settings and hints:</b>
<ul>
<li>Down-sample all images to 72–96 dpi.</li>
<li>Reduce the number of font faces to the minimum needed (see below).</li>
<li>Choose the lowest quality setting for compression that has acceptable on-screen viewing results (you may have to experiment to see what’s acceptable for you).</li>
<li>You can often substitute Arial for Helvetica, as some viewers may have this as an included font.</li>
-<li>Avoid importing EPS or PDFs into your document – instead, convert them to a low-resolution PNG with GSview, Inkscape or GIMP, then place them in your Scribus document. Why? They will render faster on your screen and often make for a smaller file size.</li>

<li>If possible, replace bitmap images with vector artwork. Vector artwork is far more compact in terms of size in PDF.</li>
<li>Avoid using the Nimbus fonts. Adobe Reader does a poor job of substituting them by using its included fonts.</li>
<li>Unless transparency in artwork is needed, select PDF 1.3 output for the greatest compatibility with other users.</li>
-<li>Always use “Screen/Web” as your output target in the PDF Export dialog. The exception is files with only black/white or greyscale content. In such a case you can also choose “Greyscale,” which will reduce the file size even further.</li>

</ul>
<p>When addressing PDF optimization for websites, there are two issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>If space is really an issue, it will help not to embed fonts and to use only the “standard 14 fonts,” which all PDF readers should be able to display reliably. These fonts include regular, bold, italic and bold italic variants of Courier, Helvetica, and Times, as well as “Symbol” and “Zapf Dingbats” (or equivalents).</li>
</br>
-<li>The second is the perceived download time when the PDF is visible in the viewer or a browser plug-in.

<h3>PDF and PostScript</h3>
-<p>While it’s true that PDF is based on <a href="importhints1.html">PostScript</a>, it needs to be said that PDF, other than PostScript, is not a programming language. PDF and PostScript describe pages and their content using the same technology (“Adobe imaging model”), so conversion of the <i>visual</i> content between both formats works flawlessly. However, the PDF specification adds other layers of content that go beyond mere representation of graphical data on a printed page, like interactive features or scripting, which are not available in PostScript.</p>

+<h3>What about other kinds of PDF, like PDF-X or PDF-A?</h3>
<p>The PDF format’s feature set continues to grow with every version, but not every feature is acceptable in all use-cases. Thus, workgroups at the International Standardization Organization (ISO) defined subsets of the PDF feature set, among them PDF/A or PDF/X. The purpose of PDF/A is long-term storage and accessibility of documents, i.e. the content of PDF/A files needs to be read or extracted in years, decades, perhaps centuries to come. This is, of course, different from PDF files created for commercial printing, whose main purpose is to reliably store visually important data like colors and typgraphically refined text. Below you can see the PDF export dialog in LibreOffice, an application suite which produces all kinds of “office” documents that are not suited for commercial printing:</p>
-<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/pdfx1a-lo.png" alt="PDF/X-1a Export in LibreOffice" title="PDF/X-1a Export in LibreOffice" /></a></td></tr></table>
+<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/pdfx1a-lo.png" alt="PDF/X-1a Export in LibreOffice" title="PDF/X-1a Export in LibreOffice" /></td></tr></table>
<p>While there are some similarities in terms of features, there are also major differences, especially in the “General” tab. As you can see, the first option here is “PDF/A-1a,” an option that’s not available in Scribus, because creating documents for long-term storage is none of its major purposes (yet). You can also see that selecting “PDF/A-1a” enables or disables other features automatically (“Tagged PDF” and “Embed standard fonts” enabled, “Create PDF form” disabled). Similarly, Scribus will enable/disable some export features when you choose <a href="pdfx3.html">PDF/X-3</a> as output destination.</p>
<p>In addition to PDF/A and PDF/X, several other PDF subsets are being developed as international standards, for instance PDF/E for engineering documents (including the embedding of 3D objects) or PDF/UA (= universal access) for visually impaired users. See the website of <a href="http://www.aiim.org/">the Association for Information and Image Management, International</a> for more information.</p>

+<h3>Where Are the Preferences Files?</h3>
+<p>Scribus’ preferences are kept in a hidden directory <code>.scribus</code>, the location of which is as follows:
<ul>
<li><strong>Linux/UNIX:</strong> <code>/home/username/.scribus</code></li>
-<li><strong>MacOSX:</strong> <code>User/username/.scribus</code></li>
-<li><strong>Windows:</strong> <code>Documents and Settings/username/.scribus</code></li>
+<li><strong>Mac OS X:</strong> <code>User/username/.scribus</code></li>
+<li><strong>OS/2 and eComStation</strong>: <code>X:\SCRIBUS-1.4.x-OS2-date\scribus\.scribus</code></li>
+<li><strong>Windows:</strong> <code>C:\Documents and Settings/username/.scribus</code></li>
</ul>
- Within the directory is a <code>.scribus14.rc</code> file, a <code>scribusfont.rc</code> file which preserves your font preferences and a <code>prefs14.xml</code>. These files are stored in XML format, so you can inspect its contents with a text editor. If you have installed the scripter plug-in, there will also be a <code>scripter.rc</code> file which lists most recently used scripts. There might also be several directories, which are configuration or history files. If you are troubleshooting starting Scribus, <strong>rename</strong>, do not delete these files and directories. If you rename the directory, on re-starting Scribus, the launch time will be somewhat longer, as Scribus creates a cache of installed fonts. On the second re-start of Scribus, it will be much quicker. </p>
