Package: scribus
Version: 1.5.8+dfsg-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I have a template that allows me to create a document divided into 3 equal 
columns 
for narrow or 3-fold flyers (the ones you may see in a literature rack). In 
this case
I use the same image for all 3 panels on the page for cutting after printing.

I create the content as a PDF file with the correct 1/3 page dimensions then 
import it into the 3 sections of the template as an image frame. However I 
noticed
that the imported PDFs were showing a thin border around the PNG file they 
contained
that was not visible in when the source PDF is viewed directly.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I verified that I was importing the correct file, that the source didn't 
contain the
border, and that it wasn't and older version somehow cached  in the .sla 
template file.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
THe border is still there,

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
The importing of a PDF should dispaly the PDF as it would in any other viewer.

NOTES: the source .sla for the PDF I imported is a modified version of one I've 
been
using for years, updating it as needed. This time I added a QR code image to 
it. 

I also noted the border around a JPEG image but this disappeared when I set the 
image fill colour property to none. The line colour property was also none. I 
note that I cannot actually remove the line nor set its thickness to 0. Anyway,
the same thing didn't remove the border from the PNG QR code image.

The workaround was to export the .sla to a .png file instead of to a PDF. While
this worked, it left the full-page .sla and the exported PDF a lot larger than 
when 
I simply used PDFs.

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
