Hi Uwe,

A way to manage this is to put each section, left, middle, and right, on its own layer. Depending on why you're doing this, you might just do it with a copy of the original Scribus document.
Once you do this, then you can open up the Layers palette and uncheck the "Print" item for the layers you do NOT want to export. Then when you export, only the printable layer will be exported to the PDF.
Change the settings to export each of the other two layers.

Greg
