It would be quite useful to have the whole doc with images to track that bug. Could you upload it somewhere so we can get it? |

I'm not sure how I could upload the whole doc with image. I could upload the doc as an email attachment. With image, it could take quite awhile attaching the images one by one, unless there's a way I don't know about. Do you know of another way? The doc is a magazine layout. The images are 2550 x 3300 at 300 dpi for the most part. Everything looked great in previewing. I just attempted to have it print and be converted by cute pdf, and that crashed as well as an Export Post script. I have Windows NT, and don't know what else to do. The entire magazine is in Scribus at the moment, and was supposed to be released as an emagazine earlier:) I am new to this, and apologize in advance for the savvy I lack. Is there hope in getting this exported into a file that can be converted to pdf? I can use cute pdf if I can only get it out of the program file as something that can be converted. Should I attempt to convert it as an image file, svg, or eps? I'll check back shortly. |

You won't be able to upload your doc with images here, you have to upload it elsewhere, a ftp server for example, so we can download it. Exporting as image won't give you good result, not suitable anyway for a magazine. How much mmory have your workstation? Given the image resolution there is a chance that you're simply running out of memory. You could test by downsampling images at a lower resoluion (eg 150dpi) and trying again to export to PDF. |

Thankyou. I think it is a memory problem. I performed a test with a lower resolution, and though it was extremely slow it was actually saving and preparing the document with progress. The finished file seemed to have errors but I will try it again. My workstation has extremely low memory. It probably isn't a bug afterall, but I can report back to you whether or not I am successful in saving a pdf. |

I have same thing happening. 1.3.3.9cvs from a week or so ago on a Sun workstation and 1.3.3.8 here at work. I have exactly one page that causes my problem. Looks like a memory allocation issue; a little gdb work last night narrowed down locality to ScImage::ImageToTxt, invoked as img.ImageToTxt at line 5328 in pdflib.cpp. Apparently violates mem inside inner xi loop. Home machine is Sun Ultra 20M2 Solaris 10, 3G RAM; Windoze machine at work is XP, 2G RAM Will upload file either with this report or separately, depending on how Mantis handles notes vs. uploads. |

It finally saved a successful pdf:) It was a memory problem afterall. Thankyou for everything. I'll be keeping the dpi lower until this workstation is replaced *grins* Take care. Scribus is a great program and we've recommended it in our publication. Sorry for the delay. Last week was bound with computer karma. |
