Thank you for your response.

Here is a screenshot of the errors that they sent me
(You may ignore the DeviceRGB error, that was my bad and I figured it out myself):




Here is pdffonts command output on the pdf:

Maybe also ask the printer for the specifications they need the PDF to comply with?

While some of the errors may be due to broken fonts, I would suspect that it is rather about limitations of their software.

What tool are they using to check the PDF?

can you please post some details about the fonts you have been using?
and the exact error messages might also help.

if you don't want to share those information in public, you can open a "private" ticket in the bug tracker: https://busg.scribus.net

hi ashokdaga

Quote from: ashokdaga on June 12, 2020, 08:38:00 AMHello Everyone,

I am new here; using Scribus 1.4.8...
i would recommend 1.6.2 – but this won't solve your problem...

Quote...I wanted to insert 230 more pages. However when I do that my text frames go and snap to top margin even though 'snap to margin' is not selected.
there is no 'snap to margin'. the margins are treated as guides. if 'snap to guides' is checked, items will snap to the margins as well as to your separate guide 0.2" below the top margin.
(if you use 'automatic text frames', they will always be created to the margins.)

PDF Generation / Prepress: any tips for authori...
Last post by mperonen - November 27, 2024, 12:42:56 PM
I recently made a 4-page long layout job and sent it for printing. I recieved some comments:
1. the "Fonts were broken, and the structrue was strange".
2. Apparently the cursive and bold were done programmically (is this a reference to OTF, programmatic fonts?).

Also they sent me a screenshot of their PDF-authorize tool and I can see the following errors:
1. Font is not valid (134 matches on 2 pages)
2. TrueType font has differences to standard encoding but is not a symbolic font (14326 matches on 4 pages)
3. Wrong encoding for non-symbolic TrueType font (14326 matches on 4 pages)
4. Number of pages is more than 1 (weird error)

I wish to learn to correct my process to make quality PDF:s with Scribus if possible.
Thank you for any possible tips.

Create text,select the right font size
Create shape
Convert shape to path (Item-Convert to-Path)
Select both
Item-Path Tools-Attach text to path
In the text properties go to Path Text Properties, Start Offset
Increase until the start of text is in the right position
With the font size or kerning (Text properties-Advanced Settings) adjust the text,  until the end of text ends where you want
Save! ;)

All the ideas are great. They just need ordering so they fit with releases etc.

I think they can be worked on simultaneously too.

I'll bet you have the image set as not printable. Right lick the offending image and select the info entry, the last entry in the list should be the printing status.

If set not to print, then you need to go Properties panel, and in the section labled Levels, there are two rows of buttons to the right. Second row last button, should say enable disable export of  object. I'll bet this button is set to not print the object. click the button and check the status of the image again and see it the printing has been enabled.

Beginner Talk / White space at the end of text...
Last post by AmazingBite - November 22, 2024, 03:13:59 PM
Hi

I'm new to this software and I'm trying to make a cover for a book.
I wanted to have the title in an arc of circle.
I did a Bézier curve and assigned it to the text.
To make the title go from left to right I used the forced justification but a white space remains at the end which ruins the symmetry.

Here an image

Sorry for my english, I hope you understood my problem and can help me.
Have a nice day :)

hi fernanda

is this a problem with every scribus file or just one misbehaving document?
