General Discussion / Latex rendering problems in wi...
Last post by argotan - August 30, 2024, 05:02:22 PMHello everyone, I use scribus on my personal portal in Linux and at work I have to create a document and I have installed scribus 1.6.2 for Windows. The document is almost finished, I just need to add the mathematical formulas through render frame using LaTex.
I have installed MikTex and I was surprised when I inserted the render frame in the document and the example text does not appear (which appears by default). I only see the red frame and in the middle the name of the temporary pdf file that LaTex has generated.
If I go to the temporary folder, I see that the pdf file exists and if I open it, the example text appears perfectly. I never have an error.
I have tried both pdflatex and xelatex and the same thing happens, there is no image, a red box with the name of the temporary pdf file.
I open that same document in scribus on Linux and it renders perfectly.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I know I can finish the document on my personal laptop, but it's personal and this is work, and I want to include this wonderful tool in my workflow.
Regards

You might be better off with just an external hard dive.

under 'properties' → 'colors' you can select 'knockout' or 'overprint' for each object.

Installation and Setup / scribus on 4k display
Last post by busscri - August 30, 2024, 02:04:49 PMHello
I am using Scribus 1.6.2 on a 4K display and it is very painfull. Is there a way to upscale things?
I heard that scribus 1.7 might handle this much better. But I could not find a way to run it on my ubuntu machine.

Installation and Setup / Activate the overprint functio...
Last post by rr - August 30, 2024, 12:36:41 PMHi everyone!
For our daily work with Scribus we need the overprint function. In the Scribus Wiki it is stated that overprinting can be activated as of version 1.3.4 (Pre-Press - Scribus Wiki). I'm currently using Scribus version 1.6.2 but somehow, I can't find the setting where overprinting can be activated. Where in the settings can I activate overprinting? I'm using Scriber on a Windows 11 machine.
Thank you very much for your answers.

Last post by enricco - August 30, 2024, 11:50:42 AMDo you use cloud storage services? What pros and cons do you see in this? For example, services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive provide the ability to store files online and access them from any device. However, the question of data security and privacy arises. Do you think we can fully trust cloud storage services, or is it better to store important files locally?

PDF Generation / Re: Incorrectly Scaled Drop Sh...
Last post by zeronop - August 30, 2024, 09:10:03 AMI should also mention that I'm working with a fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04 (installed yesterday morning).
I just tried importing the example PDF in Kubuntu 22.04, on a different computer, using both Scribus 1.6.1 and 1.5.7. The transparencies imported correctly in this case.
This seems to point towards something outside of Scribus that is used to interpret and render the PDF during export.
I'm not very familiar with what libraries Linux uses to display/process PDFs. The only thing I'm aware of that might have an impact on this is Poppler. Checking versions between Kubuntu 22.04 and Kubuntu 24.04, 22.04 uses poppler version 0.4.11-1 and 24.04 uses poppler version 04.12-1.
I don't know if I can backup to the version that Kubuntu 22.04 is using. I'll look into this, but any help or ideas are appreciated.

Last post by zeronop - August 30, 2024, 08:38:46 AMI just tried saving a PDF of the example project through through the print dialog. I then reimported this new PDF by dragging and dropping (Opening the file through the "file" menu looks to be the same as drag and drop). The results are the same. bad transparency on the drop shadow effect.

Last post by zeronop - August 30, 2024, 08:34:30 AMSorry, I didn't answer all of your questions.
I'm just dragging and dropping into Scribus for the import. I haven't checked to see if there is another way of doing this. I'll look into that now.
Quote from: AdmFubar on August 30, 2024, 07:55:30 AMHow are you importing/opening the pdf into scribus?
