Update, the results do repeat. The numbering is correct when the PDF is viewed onscreen, but the numbering is incorrect when printed.
Environment: Scribus 1.3.3.14, Win XP, sp3 PDF viwer: PDF -xchange viewer version 2 Printer: Epson Workforce 40 Note that I have Adobe Acrobat 5.0, however Scribus-generated PDF is rejected by Acrobat, or it prints and crashes, thus switched to other viewer. From the handbook of non-reproducible results: Exported book to PDF. Page numbers from 9 and above garbled. Just to track it down, exported again: no problem. Go figure... Jerry Halberstadt
