Scribus is an example as a FOSS application, Quark XPress is a commercial product. You need a desktop publishing application where the primary object is the page whereas in Writer the paragraph is. If you insist on a 6-page brochure, Writer is not the right tool for that. ![]() However, brochure print works on multiples of 4 pages. In the experiment I made, I have no problem to brochure-print A5 pages in A4-landscape sheets. You can however record your right-margin tab stop in all your paragraph styles so that they can be used on left and right pages (unless I didn’t understand the layout: left-aligned on left pages and right-aligned on right pages can’t be achieved with Writer paragraph styles and in addition this would imply a change in alignment inside a paragraph if it straddles a page boundary). if you change margins, you must manually adjust the stop distance. The fact that you can’t define a right-margin tab stop is really inconvenient: you must give the distance from the left margin. Positioning and aligning text is a matter of paragraph style. This is the only relationship between a page style and text. Within the surface of the sheet, it reserves an area for text flow: the area within the margin. Does that mean I need the whole set of paragraph styles duplicated for each page they’re on, and “manually” keep those paragraph styles in synchronization with their corresponding page styles? Is there a less error-prone way to accomplish this?Ī page style only defines some geometric aspects of the page. It looks like tab stops are paragraph-level settings, though, not page settings. ![]() Since each page has its own style (styles p1, p2, etc.), the tab stops will be different on each page to hit the right margin. Much text on the page is laid out like this:Īnd the right-text should be right-aligned at the right edge of the page. I have one page style for each page because the margin settings depend on whether the right or left edge of the page ends up at the edge of the paper or in the middle of the paper (and other aesthetic considerations). The problem is when I try to maximize the use of the page without cutting text off at the edges. ![]() The final brochure is folded in half with a half-page insert (pages three and four). Using the “brochure” print settings is not good, so I have each page as an 8.5"x11" and I print by setting “two-sided short edge” and print pages 6,1,2,5 (two pages on one side), then printing 3,4,3,4 (two pages on one side). This will ensure that any spot colours you may have accidentally used are converted to CMYK.I’m printing a six-page brochure. Otherwise your colours will be set to RGB, not CMYK.Īlso, tick the ‘Convert Spot Colours to Process Colours’ box. Colour SettingsĮnsure you select ‘Printer’ under ‘Output Intended For’ - this is very important. You shouldn’t need to change anything here. Extras SettingsĮnsure that ‘Enable Presentational Effects’ is unticked. Scribus will automatically move fonts it can’t embed to the ‘Fonts to outline’ box, so as long as they’re in one of these two boxes you don’t need to worry about it. Ideally, you want to embed them all, but some fonts can’t be embedded in Scribus, and must be outlined instead. ![]() You can move fonts between the two boxes by selecting them and clicking on the arrows. Make sure all of the fonts listed in ‘Available Fonts’ are also listed in either the ‘Fonts to embed’ box, or the ‘Fonts to outline’ box. Set the ‘Compatibility’ to PDF 1.3, to ensure only the simplest PDF features are used in your file, making it most compatible with our printers.Īlso, ensure ‘Compress Text and Vector Graphics’ is ticked, and set the ‘Maximum Image Resolution’ to 300 dpi. To start exporting your PDF, click ‘Export’ from the ‘File’ menu. There are a few settings that need to be checked before you export a PDF from Scribus for upload to Newspaper Club.
