Scribus 1.4.x won't produce an output in PDF X/1-a:2001 format as required for covers by LSI and some other printers. Scribus 1.5.0 will, but is probably about six months away from stability as 1.6.0. This doesn't bother me because I use Linux and keep up with the latest 1.5.0 nightly. But not everyone is so lucky. So for those who use Windows or OS X or just don't want to bother with installing 1.5.0 I offer the following free service.
If you will send me your (collected) sla file I will load it into 1.5.0, generate a PDF X/1-a:2001 file, and return it to you. Send it to: sales at wexfordpress.com with the Subject of: conversion I will of course respect your copyright and confidentiality. IMPORTANT: You must "collect" the document into a new folder first, or I won't have your fonts and external artwork available to me. When you collect it that process will create a special folder just for this save. Included in this folder will be subfolders. You need to zip or gzip the entire new folder and attach that to your email. If you collected the document into a new folder named "collect" then the correct command is: zip -r foo.zip collect You send me foo.zip -- John Culleton
