I’m preparing a submission to a POD publisher who has a size limit on<br>
the initial MS, i.e. prior to acceptance for publication. Beyond<br>
that, I don’t care about the size. Windows 7 - Scribus 1.3.3.14<br>
I am very new at Scribus and no nothing about scripts or wiki or<br>
layers but I will muddle through (as always). Thank you all, Louis,<br>
George, a.l.e. for your suggestions<br>

If you look at this wiki page:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Image_DPI_and_Scaling,_and_Resultant_File_Sizes" target="_blank">http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Image_DPI_and_Scaling,_and_Resultant_File_Sizes</a><br>
<br>
you can get a sense of how changing some settings in Scribus or manipulating the images can variably reduce file size of the PDF.<br>
<br>
Especially with a large document containing many images, you should be using the lowest DPI resolution that makes sense for your purpose. Typically, 150 to 300 DPI is good enough. Using a tiny part of a very large image will load this entire image into the PDF, so cropping before you use the image can be a huge savings.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>This naturally brings me to the idea of a script that would do that, when the user is ready, crop the image to the frame + 1 pixel to avoid accidental white gap between a framed image frame. Is this feasible? What's the best way to do this, a python script or hard coded into the application?<br>
