<font size="+1"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Ruth, perhaps I can shed
a little light on this situation. First, let me say this. My
knowledge of Scribus is minuscule compared to the other
knowledgeable people on this list.<br>
<br>
That said, I have been trying to get a solution to the same
problem as yours for the last couple of months or longer. The
problem is, I think, that my printer (and probably all Ink Jet
Printers) have built into their software an unprintable area all
around the sheet. In the case of my Canon this is approximately
1/4". My Book has pages that are 5.5" X 8.5". I will print two
pages on each side of an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet. When I try to print
this using Adobe Reader and Booklet Setting the printer adds the
1/4" unprintable area to all four sides of the sheet which means
that the 1/4" is added to the margins of each page. This has to
come from the Body Text making it 1/4" narrower. This gets a
little complicated and I hope you can follow this.<br>
<br>
I think I have explained the problem to you but what we both
want is a solution. I have been working with the good people at
PDF Xchange who have a PDF Reader which I believe is as good as
or perhaps better than Adobe. They have offered a solution to
the problem using their software which would require making an
entry in the Registry. I am proceeding with utmost caution
because I have never edited the Registry.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in pursuing this let me know and I will
give you more information. Even better, with this information
perhaps one or more of these very knowledgeable list members can
figure a workaround. You could compensate for this in Scribus
but I really did not want to do that because I might decide to
have a printer print some copies of the book. <br>

<pre wrap="">I'm new to Scribus so not familiar with a lot of the procedures. I know
there has been discussion about booklet printing, but I'm having problems
following that because I'm just not familiar enough with it. I was using the
stable version of Scribus, but on the weekend I downloaded 1.4.0 rc5 and I
must stay what an improvement. Most of my issues are solved, so I thank you
for that. The question I do want to ask is this:
Can I print a booklet directly from Scribus? I have all the layout set up as
it should be and I can export to pdf to make the booklet, but I seem to be
having an issue trying to print directly. If so, where do I find
instructions on how to do this correctly?
I can print the booklet by exporting to pdf but have a problem of where the
printer will print wider margins on the outside edges, even though the pdf
has even margins which is annoying and I cannot seem to fix. Maybe someone
can direct me to where I can get help with this?
To rectify this print error, the only solution I've come up with is to use
booklet creator which lays the pages out as they are seen. The problem with
this is now I have a three step process to print my booklet.
Any help would be most appreciated and I'm sorry if this has already been
covered.
Ruth
