[scribus-dev] [scribus] PDF/X-1a export in Scribus 1.4.4svn <- GOOD JOB :) !!!

[Richard Foley]

Recently I reported that the full colour PDF/X-1 Cover *and* Interior exports
in 1.4.x passed all premedia checks with LSI.

I can now report back that the actual proof worked too. The *entire* process
worked like a charm. The final "proof of the pudding" is the colour proof
hardcopy (paperback), which arrived today, and looks just darned GOOD!
Everything lines up, the colours are bright with solid contrast, it's simply a
good job, and such a relief to not have to use a separate program to export to
this specific format any more. Well done, Scribus team!!!

Anyone interested can read more about the actual book, and contents, here:

ps. I realize this smooth PDF/X-1 export in 1.4.x might come as no surprise to
the developers, (code + backport patch -> all works), but there may still be
people, (end users like myself), who would like to have this confirmed through
experience in the teeth of the real world. 

Hence the continued feedback.
