[scribus] PDF error "An error exists on this page"

[Marco Boeringa]

Ok, I now had a slightly closer look at the issue. One thing that I have 
now noticed is that the issue with Adobe Reader generating the "An error 
exist on this page" message seems to go away when I choose "Compress 
Text and Vector Graphics" (Image compression set to Maximum quality and 
Compression method to Automatic). When the error does occur, sometimes, 
but not always, the document is not displayed properly in Adobe Reader. 
But even when it is properly displayed, the error may pop-up as soon as 
you either start scrolling the document back and forth, or consistently 
when I try to print the document. After printing has finished (Adobe 
Reader progress dialog closed, print job send to printer that starts to 
print), the message pops up.

I still find it strange that an only slightly different version (just 
some minor changes to vector graphics), didn't cause issues. But maybe 
the compression removes a minor fault in one of the vector grahics? But 
that still baffles me, because I also one-by-one removed all the new 
graphics and tried exporting to PDF to see if that would solve the issue 
at some point. But that didn't help. Only the Compress option now seems 
to give a solution.

Adobe Reader version is 9.3.1 by the way on Win XP SP3, and I export to 
PDF 1.5 as there is some use of transparencies.
