I create a document measuring 303 mm x 210 mm, with a 5 mm bleed, and it generates a file measuring 327 mm x 234 mm
327 = 303 + (2 × 5) + (2 × 7)
234 = 210 + (2 × 5) + (2 × 7)

MacOS / Confusing download links for s...
Last post by Monyker - May 23, 2026, 10:55:14 PM
Download links for 1.6.6 (current stable) are a bit confusing to me, in particular, the source archives, Windows 32 bit, Windows 64 bit, macOS Intel, and macOS Silicon download links. These all go to the 1.6.6 path/directory on SourceForge, and the green download button on that page defaults to scribus-1.6.6-arm64.dmg. I wanted to upgrade Scribus on an Intel iMac, clicked the download link for macOS Intel, and clicked the green button. I should have known better, but was confused when I mounted the downloaded dmg and Scribus appeared with a no-execute/no-entry icon. It took me a bit to realize I needed scribus-1.6.6.dmg instead.
I don't remember encountering this before. Just an FYI. Maybe the links could be updated for the appropriate OS and architecture.
Thank you!

No, Scribus does not do it...

How do you detect the 7 mm "padding"?

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.
