Thanks, both! I'm testing out pdftops now for a next round (am struggling a bit with margin settings but I think I've got it now); have in the mean time decided to export all pages as .pdf (to maintain the placement and layering of the images); convert them as .tiff in Gimp; export pages with text as eps and now the designer can put all together into an eps he can / he knows the printer can handle.
Re: why eps -- this is an unfortunate decision of the printer After all Scribus held out well during this converting and reconverting marathon; no crashes and reasonably fast. best, Femke Tino Schwarze wrote: > On Wed, Sep 13, 2006 at 09:41:13PM +0200, Femke Snelting wrote: > >> I used Scribus for a contribution to an art magazine all done in Adobe >> In-Design and everything went well up until the last point: >> >> The printer requested EPS files and now we find out, that on some pages >> (of course those we did not test in advance...) images went missing. > > You might want to try to export to PDF in Scribus, then use pdftops > (from xpdf package) to generate an EPS.
