<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi, Tom. <div>If you allready have Acrobat pro, you have one better solution:</div><div><br><div>Export from Scribus to pdf 1.5, colors = for printer output</div><div><br></div><div>Open the document in AcrobatPro, choose </div><div>file/export/export to PDF X, this wil open a utility window, in this window hit settings, new utility window open, you have radio buton to choose pdx-1a, and other flavor. I recomand Traped key to set 'true' (i.e. this will keep overprint-black settings ) and ISO to sett 'US web coated (swop)' - but you will decide this is fitt your needs.</div><div><br></div><div>sorry for my english, if my I'm not realy clear</div><div><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div class="plainMail"><br>What I meant was that when I click on the File menu, then click
on the Print<br>command on the file menu, select Adobe PDF as the printer (Adobe Acrobat 9<br>Pro is installed on my Windows machine), and choose the PDF/X-1a:2001<br>profile as an option, the PDF that is produced contains washed out images.<br><br>When I click on the File menu, select Export command, and the Save AS PDF<br>option, the images in the PDF that is produced are sharp and clear. When I<br>open one of the images that was placed in the Scribus document with GIMP and<br>print it to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, the PDF that is created is<br>sharp and clear.<br><br>I purchase Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro because I didn't think Adobe Acrobat was able<br>to create PDFs, just read them. If I was wrong, I may have wasted some<br>money.<br><br>The need to create output in PDF/X-1a:2001 format is the reason I use Adobe<br>Acrobat 9 Pro. Because the Windows version of Scribus does not yet Export<br>PSFs to this standard, I need to get Scribus and Adobe
Acrobat to work<br>together properly. <br><br>Tom Benjey<br>717-258-9733 voice<br>717-243-0074 fax<br>Twitter: @TomBenjey<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>scribus mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:scribus@lists.scribus.info" href="/mc/compose?to=scribus@lists.scribus.info">scribus@lists.scribus.info</a><br><a href="http://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus" target="_blank">http://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus</a><br></div></blockquote></div></div></td></tr></table><br>
