Hi Ermin, It looks like we're using the same settings with two exceptions: * In my export attempt, pictures are set to 600dpi (because the image quality really matters in my hardcopy prints.) I don't know if this is causing the problem. I could try reducing it. * The other possibility I can think of is that my preflight gives a complaint about embedded PDFs as images. I could change this by demanding that my advertisers supply tiff instead of PDF to me, but they don't want to, and so I don't want to ask it of them. I hope that isn't the problem, since they all universally prefer to give me PDFs.
I used these same PDF advertisements last month, and also the same image file setting, with no problem. I wonder if zipping the files up and transferring them to the UNIX box would help. -Jessica Ermin de Winkel wrote: > Hello Jessica, > This year I completed a 418 page instructionbook under the same system. > Scribus 1.3.3.12 and windows XP Home SP3 published to PDF.
