Next, we need a gray background for our page. Leave the rest of the default settings as they are.Īfter clicking the “OK” button, Scribus creates a new page: The cover page won't need any margins, so that we use 0 mm as the value for all page margins. This is going to be about the same as US Letter size. Set the Page Size to “Custom” (found at the bottom of the list in the Size dropdown box) and change the default value for Height to 285 mm. So we click File > New, and Scribus brings up the following dialog:įor our cover page we will choose a Single Page layout.

The main purpose of a DTP software is to give you a maximum of control over design and content of your document. To create a new page, you have to tell the program to do exactly that.

This won't work in Scribus (or most other DTP programs). If a new page is necessary, the word processor will create it. You probably know what happens if you create a new file in a word processor: The program you're working with creates a new page and you can start typing. Step One: Creating a Document and a Page Background You can select this palette under Color Sets in the Edit Colors dialog: Here we need a swatch called “Scribus X11”. The default color palette is called “Scribus Basic”, as you can see in the dialog. Make sure that no document is open, then go to Edit > Colors.

I suspect that the remaining 6 matches are caused by the background image and a page number box being fully covered by a full-page illustration. I wanted to keep all images in the ICC profile specified in color conversion.)Īfter that I did color conversion, flattening, DPI reduction of images and conversion to X-3 just like I've done before, so the overprint fix is what made the difference. (I also tried it after color conversion, but it created a greyscale copy of each illustration for some reason.

I ran the fix called 'Set black text to overprint' (under Preflight - Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Profiles - wrench button - Color, spaces, spot colors, inks) as the first step in Acrobat DC right before color conversion. This is thanks to your recommendation to use overprint. I'd appreciate your Boulay I have good news I managed to get rid of practically all of the transparency errors in the X-3 conversion! Now only 6 matches instead of 895. But sadly I can't generate an X-3 compliant document because of these false positives. I believe that the flattener worked and that these are false positives, because there's nothing transparent about any of these objects in the document. I assume this means that there's nothing to highlight - no transparency on the page, because before flattening the few pages with transparency I was able to select 'Transparent Objects' highlight on these pages).

I'm trying to convert a PDF v1.6 to the X-3 standard (so downgrading it to v1.3, which doesn't support transparencies) using the SWOP profile in Preflight named 'Convert to PDF/X-3 (SWOP)' which checks for transparencies and should flatten them automatically with the 'Flatten transparencies' fix as you can see here:Īfter creating the new file the Results view in Preflight says that the only thing that doesn't meet the X-3 standard is transparencies, and then lists 1448 elements as transparent (see attached the Results generated as a PDF with images in the report compressed so I could attach it here) although I've successfully run the whole document through the Flattener Preview before attempting to convert to X-3, flattening the few images that actually had transparent backgrounds and later checking every page and seeing, that Flattener Preview didn't see transparencies anywhere on them (Basically I checked on every page, that Highlight could not be set to 'Transparent Objects' nor any other option in Flattener Preview.
