If you set up a dummy document (no content or "Hello world") can you export it as pdf to that directory? Since you are under a deadline I suggest you send me just the sla file and any included files (illos etc.) as attachments to an email and I will try to create a pdf file for you. If I can't do that then you might want to review the history of steps you went through to create this document. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
