[Ubuntu-be] IRC meeting 21/04/2011 – Report

[Jurgen Gaeremyn]

Okay... about the conversion to CMYK using Scribus:

I couldn't get Scribus 1.3 or 1.4 to handle the files correctly... so I
downloaded Scribus 1.5 (svn).

Just plainly importing the rollout SVG gives errors (artefacts) - so I
regenerated the Rollout from scratch and have it in Scribus 1.5 using
the Ubuntu CMYK palette.

I also imported the Flyer Massimiliano made... this one went pretty well
(could import into Scribus NG... had to manually convert all the
colors). Just one "tiny" issue: the bitmap of the monitor is an
RGB-image. No software under Linux to convert bitmaps to CMYK. Going to
try out the development snapshot of GIMP, hoping they're a step further
there... :s

I didn't find the option to save as PDF/X-1A:2001 - even though I have
the file in CMYK now. (not exactly the same) Maybe someone can explain
to me how I can get this option...

Mail me if you want the SLA-files (they're pretty big though)

Grtz,
Jurgen.
