[scribus] Free conversion of cover files to PDF X/1-a:2001

[Richard Foley]

That's a great offer, John.

I don't need it because I also use Linux and have Scribus 1.5.0 installed so I
can generate my own PDF/X-1a:2001 files directly from my own *.sla files. But I
found out the hard way. I just wanted to say *thumbs-up* :-)
