Quote from: Nermander on November 28, 2024, 04:29:19 PMThe most common answer in a case like this usually is: Look for another printer.Sounds like there needs to be a resource for scribus users to locate them. A wiki for users to list print houses that dont have issues with scribus generated pdf's would be useful. Maybe even branding for them to display on their sites as well. Just a thought or two.

Sadly, I have to also to warn you, that Scribus has the "policy" to not care about other programs not correctly processing PDF files (in the contrary to Adobe, that tends to work around issues that other software down the chain might have...).
One example is: you seem to be producing a PDF X/4 which, as far as I can read in Wikipedia, allows RGB colors as long as they are color managed... But, if I understand the short error message correctly, the printer's software seems to complain about RGB colors being in the PDF.
And, as Nermander says, Scribus will force to activate the color management, if you export to PDF X/4.
(but the issue might be somewhere else: we don't see the details!)
Finally, a general notice about the fonts you're using: they don't seem to be good quality fonts, meant for print (as an example, Roboto is clearly a UI font...).
Personally, I believe that Scribus should better take care of real word issues and limitations, but I also understand that a small team might not want to fix the errors bigger and well payed teams are doing elsewhere...
(My rational: creating PDFs that the printers do like, might have helped in improving the acceptance of Scribus among many users and print shops! ... and maybe attracted some more developers...)
(But I also understand the team's rational: The only important thing is that the PDF created by Scribus must be correct! Otherwise nobody will trust our "small" software)
