short (10 pages) or longer (up to 30 pages) chapters that can be built apart; is it possible to merge them together from a master document
I build separate chapters, export them to PDF, and merge the PDF s with PDF software.
If we work on small documents, how can we manage pages numbering ?
In Scribus, you can go to the Preferences and set the page numbers to begin at the
appropriate number for that chapter.
We made a test for one chapter, 10 pages, which is already 100 Mo...and the images are not in the best resolution. It is why I ask this forum if Scribus is ok for such a project ?
Like utnik said, the images shouldn't be in the file, just linked. The sla file should be pretty small, itself.
On the other hand, the PDF can get pretty big with a lot of full-res images.
However, there is this thing I read in this other post:
http://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,3645.0.htmland that is, .png images are linked to and the .sla file size stays small, BUT
if you use .svg images, they are embedded and the file size gets huge.
I have no idea why this is so; I just make the report.
(I use .png although I have been told that .svg is better for printing and I don't doubt it. )
