General Discussion / Re: Latex rendering problems i...

Last post by braceletrosy - Today at 04:04:28 AM

Hello 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.

tunnel rush

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

Hi argotan,

One thing that I did was checking the path to MikTex in Scribus' settings. Sometimes the path doesn't get set correctly on Windows, even if it works fine on Linux. You might want to check that under Preferences > External Tools.

Yes, the switch is already there in 1.7.0svn.
Preferences -> User Interface -> Hide Informational Labels

I 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.

I 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?

Please 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.

if you only created one, them most likely your file may have acquired an error. How old is your system?

Nice, will there be an option to switch between compact and full?

Hi all,

I started to redesign the text properties panel.
Especially for the text color buttons, I tried a new approach with an icon. What do you think about it?

Hello everyone! I have use Scribus on Ubuntu successfully for self publishing books, notebooks and calendars. I am looking to create diaries for this 2025, 1 page per day, any tutorial or guidance? 🤔 Thank you

We nee d a bit of clarification, are you creating a blank diary as a print version to be filled in. Or are you thinking about using scribus  to write  a diary "on the fly"?

That worked. Thanks.
