User Interface / Re: Indigo UI: Text Properties
Last post by BN_Dev - September 20, 2024, 01:40:04 AMThey look clear and pretty. How's it like in dark mode? I have a little issue with the dark mode pop-outs in the widgets because they're borderless and easily blend in to things. More than once I've not even realized something popped out and wondered why other controls weren't responding

PDF Generation / Re: [SOLVED] Incorrectly Scale...
Last post by OSDP - September 20, 2024, 01:13:33 AMThe issues are the conversion (or not) of images to the desired icc profile (CMYK) in final .pdf and interpretations of shadows and transparencies according to third party reading software (may be temporary if only related to your version/configuration of linux), why not exporting your final work in a .pdf that would contain only a single raster image (CMYK) ? You will see on live the results of shading that you can adjust until satisfation by exporting and testing in .tiff or .jpg. You can export this CMYK image, and insert it in .pdf (which will have only a single raster image, no vector font, no shading software effect (from scribus or inkscape).
My procedure is fine for small formats and simple documents: A4, sometimes A3.
I rarely print (and only in four colors) (posters in general).
Beyond that, the .tiff or .jpg will likely be really heavy/too heavy (depending on the nature and complexity of the work).
And it is true that this requires additional steps (which I have not specified):
For example, if I have to take out a final .pdf in A4 300dpi, with a 5 mm requested bleed, I must think of composing and working my Scribus document in «custom format», so as to export my image .jpg or .tiff with adequate bleed integrated in output ! Very important here. For this example, 10 mm more in width and height. So, my work/document .sla (and my .jpg/tiff output image) "A4" will then have to be 220 x 307 mm (custom format, with a bleed zero for this step) instead of 210 x 297 mm (A4 format).
To «see» the bleed area, you can put a colored shape (A4 format) on a dedicated layer in the background.
And to finalize it in .pdf for printing, I reimport the 100% raster image from this first .sla in another .sla document (this time in A4 format via the Scribus interface, setting a 5 mm bleed), and by shifting the image to "x" and "y" (in this example: -5 mm and -5 mm).
This either wastes time, or actually saves time, depending on the outcome. The first time, it is quite laborious (especially since Scribus does not propose the «pixel» unit; and it will be necessary to convert millimeters into pixels as the reverse to find themselves in the «process»). The next time, it's better. In any case, the potential issues related to effects (shadows) and fonts "no longer exist" with the printer. (You will have to manage them yourself if there are any; until .jpg/tiff comes out as you want). For transparencies, the same will be checked "in output" if everything is "ok".
It may be quite laborious, but in the end, the final .pdf should not pose a problem: it is "like printing a photo".
In some circumstances, it may be useful !

Last post by Fog81 - September 19, 2024, 06:39:05 PMyes i confirm the pdf is not having problem but only when you vectorize the font.
I'm opening a ticket right away thanks

Last post by a.l.e - September 19, 2024, 06:21:11 PMI can confirm that the M rendering is truncated on the upper right corner.
This happens only on screen and the pdf is correct.
Would you mind opening a ticket in https://bugs.scribus.net?

Text and Typography / Font letter is being truncated...
Last post by Fog81 - September 19, 2024, 06:05:28 PMHello everyone ,
I encounter a problem with the font winterfella (dafont) with the letter M (in capital), the upper right corner of the M is truncated, does anyone have a clue to solve this ?
I'm using scribus 1.6.1 on Linux Mint and the font is correctly display in inkscape.
Thanks for your inputs

Beginner Talk / Re: How to create links within...
Last post by a.l.e - September 17, 2024, 05:30:26 PMI don't think that in the current Scribus version there is a better way to create an index.
Something might be coming with the next release.
Work has been done, but I had no chance to test it yet.

Beginner Talk / Re: How to create links within...
Last post by Dr. Mindermast - September 17, 2024, 02:36:01 PMI did some more experimenting and I figured out the basics. Here's the answer in case anyone else is looking for the same thing:
1. Click the Link Annotation button in the PDF Tools section of the toolbar.
2. Click and drag to create a box around where you want the link to be.
3. Double click on the box to open up the Annotation Properties dialog. The Type should already be set to Link, so leave it there. Under Destination, enter the page number and coordinates for your target.
4. If you turn on Preview Mode you can test your link to make sure that it takes you to the right place.
---------------
Now that I've got that down, can anyone tell me if there's an easier way to create an index that automatically links back to the main text, or do I have to just manually create links for every index entry?

Beginner Talk / How to create links within the...
Last post by Dr. Mindermast - September 17, 2024, 02:34:37 AMPlease forgive me if this is already answered somewhere, I haven't been able to find it...
For the document that I am working on, my goal for the end product is to have a PDF where some of the text links to other parts of the same document (e.g. if I write "see p25," you click and it jumps to the relevant section of page 25). The closest I've been able to find is how to embed links to a URL somewhere outside of the document, but I don't need that. How can I create links within the document itself?
Using version 1.6.1 if that makes a difference here.
