No, Scribus does not do it...

How do you detect the 7 mm "padding"?

PDF Generation / Dimensions
Last post by PN - Today at 11:48:57 AM
Hello,
Does Scribus automatically add 7 mm to the dimensions of the PDF it generates? Why? I can't find any settings related to this value.
Thank you for your help.

you'll find those settings under 'preferences' → 'preflight verifier'. here you can define a profile for every .pdf version.

I'm embarrassed that I missed that.  What a rookie error.  Thank you.

hi henrylaw

are you sure you checked the same profile in the settings as when you exported your document? it may be different for every .pdf version.
(on my computer it's unchecked for all versions and it never shows up as a warning...)

That setting is not selected in document setup or preferences, yet it still displays the error message.

My pre-flight verifier has dozens of messages with the text "Image has progressive encoding". I know what progressive encoding is, so:

1. Why is it a bad thing in Scribus? Ignoring them doesn't seem to have any bad effect on the PDF or the printed document.

2. Since I routinely ignore those messages, can I suppress them?

Alright, so it's been some time, and I thought I'd add a little more to the discussion.

I'm now running Aurora OS (i.e. a Universal Blue packaging of Fedora / KDE) and running into the same issue as previously. BUT... WAIT FOR IT...

I installed the Flatpak version and it works perfectly. So, the new current conclusion I've come to is that containerization is a factor, and basically it's interfering with this program's normal functioning.
