Title: pdf too big
Post by: Eric van Dusseldorp on November 22, 2025, 05:53:22 AM
Hi, I made a book with Scribus. It is oblong 210x155 mm. By making a pdf, the system makes a far bigger format. I want exactly 210x155 and no crop marks.What to do?

hi eric

just uncheck all those marks in 'file' → 'document setup' → 'pre-press'. (or at the same place in the .pdf export window...)

Are you exporting PDF from Scribus, or are you "printing to PDF"?

If you are printing to PDF, you would need to set the "PDF printer" to the right paper size.

Exporting PDF from Scribus is the better solution (because then you can even have different page size for different pages and get them in the right size).
