Hi again, and thanks for the load of replies! It really does seem that I was misinterpreting the problem I was seeing (so Graig was right); the PDF's are indeed exported the resolution selected at the export PDF dialog, as also noted by Riku, too (though the option could be more clear as already mentioned).
What I was seeing was a side-effect of the rasterisation done while exporting the PDF from Scribus (and I just assumed the were too low quality); some PDF's (especially the fonts) just look a lot worse on monitor after rasterisation. They also look worse when printed, but luckily, not so much (I went to the print house we're working with and did some test prints). but as Scribus can't import PDF's as vector graphics just yet, so this is something I'll have to live with. And I think the quality is acceptable for out work, since we're not professionals =) I also tried converting the PDF's to ps and eps, but that didn't work for any of the PDF's I tried. It seems all of them are too complicated for pdftops (and pdf2ps). So using them as vector graphics would be ideal but not possible at the moment. I still do have problems with imported PDF's; it seems scribus does some really bad job with the colors - but I'll start a new thread about this if I can't solve it based on documentation. -- -- Ville Aakko - ville.aakko at gmail.com
