A hint from a Scribus User
Comment on ScribusA hint from a Scribus User
Posted:27 Oct 2009 (05:37 UTC)We've done a couple of PrestoPhoto books using Scribus now, and it seems like PrestoPhoto doesn't like something about the PDFs that Scribus creates, even though they work fine in Adobe Reader or other PDF viewers. However, if we run the Scribus PDF through GhostScript, the PDF that GhostScript creates seems to work fine with PrestoPhoto.
Here's the command that we use to process the Scribus PDF into something PrestoPhoto will handle (GhostScript required):
Which would re-process the scribus_output.pdf file into upload_to_viovio.pdf, with images resized to 600dpi. You can change the Gray and Color DPIs to 300 if your file is too big. I leave the mono resolution at 1200dpi so that mono graphics print nicely on a black and white printer even though the PrestoPhoto printer won't benefit from the increased resolution.
