I can't speak for the other John, but I have a document that was<br>
prepared in pdftex. Because it contains color I need it in pdf x/1-<br>
a:2001 format. Otherwise it is not acceptable to the printer, LSI. I<br>
have had good luck with covers for LSI using Scribus 1.5.0. But this<br>
booklet has a color interior as well.<br>
<br>
It looks like I will have to break the pages apart and import them one<br>
by one.<br>
<br>
Bummer.<br>

so, you're using scribus as a pdf ?? to pdf x/1a converter?<br>
<br>
as i said: doable, but not really the purpose of scribus...<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>This may be confusing since both of us are named John. <br><br>My task is to import a pdf file with no particular uniqueness except that it is usually about 20 pages long. Our magazine ranges from 60 - 80 pages. The primary feature of our magazine is a 20 page, 3 columns per page, index created from a database before each publishing period. This index is then delivered to me as a single pdf file.<br>
<br>Because the pages I must import are delivered to me as a multi-page pdf file, the only way I've found to import it is to break it up into individual pages. I use <b>pdftk</b> to split the large file into multiple files, one page per file. Then I must set each pdf/page into an image box which covers the entire page, almost. Page numbers are supplied by my right and left master pages. It works fine but is a bit tedious. The result is 20 pages near the center of the magazine.<br>
<br>Pdf output, on the other hand, doesn't require the same specification at John
Culleton's output does. My printer is much less picky, I'd say. I
generally use the pdf 1.4 format for my pdf output. <br><br>Scribus works great to compose the remaining 40 - 60 pages in addition to the index that I import. However, if there is some method to paginating the supplied pdf file upon importing it into Scribus, I'd be willing to try it.<br>
