[Scribus] Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 is out ...

[Greg Hill]

Just did a test on Reader 7.0 with two types of color export. The first was 
exported to pdf using the "for print" option and then the identical file 
exported "for screen or web" view. I used Scribus with lcms enabled CMYK 
profile.
Indeed the colors are accurate for both. The difference being that if you save 
the file for web viewe you are saving it as rgb and the colors are vibrant. 
Saving for print renders the colors more like CMYK, the industry standard for 
printing, and the colors do appear somewhat pale. This is normal for CMYK 
output,  but a commercial printer would have no difficulty making the final 
adjustment in his printing plant for optimum printing.
The results are consistant with the Mac version of Acrobat I use at work at 
the newspaper.
