Let me just chime in here, since we've just gone through this with the 
manual. This is simply an uneducated attitude on LSI's part. They seem 
to have limited knowledge and/or interest in figuring out issues with 
PDFs, and for all we know this is a party line they get from Adobe. They 
complained that our book was not X/1:2001, but this turned out not to be 
the issue at all. Thanks to Louis Desjardins, we were able to figure out 
where problems were and fix them, and it had nothing to do with the PDF 
version, so no conversion was necessary.

In the end, Scribus was more than adequate for the layout of our 
440-page book, with the only caveat being what we have said for some 
time that it can't handle 440 pages all at once.
