Embedding kresba.pdf works ok here with Scribus compiled with podofo 0.8. vkladej.pdf contains form fields (note : such pdf are usually rejected by printers)

Is there a way to use podofo for the detection of form fields and display a warning?

64bit Scribus 1.3.7 from .deb package with podofo 0.8+svn2010051 in Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't work (kresba.pdf). If 1.3.8 will be working with this kind of PDF's, no change required.

I understand what cause problems with vkladej.pdf now. Thanks. Warning would be handy.

Preflight verifier sounds reasonable. The question remains whether pododfo can be used for the detection.

Yeah, but fully checking and parsing pdfs can take an awful lot of time (remember Pitstop can take more than 20 minutes to analyze a single pdf). And checking pdfs is really not the scribus job.

Is there any free PDF "optimization" tool which remove this kind of features?

If yes, there would be possible to write only report:

"PDF contains some unsupported features. Please convert this PDF in ....."

What's the verdict on this?
kresba.pdf imports fine, AFICT on 1.5.1 r20178
vkladej.pdf has form fields and doesn't import correctly on 1.5.1 r20178

Need to find a ticket that shows issues with importing PDF form fields and attach vkladej.pdf to it.
