I have a calculator to find out how thick the spine is, but what then? Another question is: the printer wants the cover in a separate pdf, but thus that mean that the spine should be a separate pdf or should it be part of the total of the cover? How do I make that?</pre></blockquote><div>What I've seen was that they want cover as a single PDF. They should send you draft of the cover, based on paper type, page number, binding type and such, like this:</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:9293001f25679270d73ec4838c5dac56567d9402.camel@doxos.eu" width="500"><br></div><div><br></div><div>Create new document with one page of that size and bleeds, add guides to the exact locations as indicated (object position or guide coordinates in Scribus can take expressions, so you can put stuff like 5+66+107 there). The (0,0) coordinate is upper left of the content (without bleed).</div><div><br></div><div>I was asked to put fold marks and spine middle axis as well, I had to put those by hands as short lines in the bleed area.</div><div><br></div><div>I've done cover like that a few times and no problem - e.g. <a href="https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Success_stories_2017#Book_cover">https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Success_stories_2017#Book_cover</a> .</div><div><br></div><div>HTH, Vaclav</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><pre><br></pre><pre>Thanks a lot for your answers,</pre><pre><br></pre><pre><br></pre><pre> Herry Vos</pre><pre><br></pre><pre><br></pre><pre><a href="http://www.fotoherryvos.nl">www.fotoherryvos.nl</a></pre><pre>------------- volgend deel ------------</pre><pre>Een HTML-bijlage is gescrubt...</pre><pre>URL: <<a href="http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20180902/c71d805b/attachment.html">http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20180902/c71d805b/attachment.html</a>></pre><pre>___</pre><pre>Scribus Mailing List: <a href="mailto:scribus@lists.scribus.net">scribus@lists.scribus.net</a></pre><pre>Edit your options or unsubscribe:</pre><pre><a href="http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus">http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus</a></pre><pre>See also:</pre><pre><a href="http://wiki.scribus.net">http://wiki.scribus.net</a></pre><pre><a href="http://forums.scribus.net">http://forums.scribus.net</a></pre><pre><br></pre><pre><br></pre></blockquote></body></html>
