Vue d'ensemble de la création des PDF

Pour chaque page du magazine, deux PDF doivent être produits avec des paramètres différents ; un pour l'affichage sur écran de la version PDF du magazine et un pour la version imprimée.

La version pour affichage est optimisée pour la taille alors que la version pour impression doit être optimisée pour la qualité et inclure des informations supplémentaires pour l'imprimante.

Comme les articles sont réalisés et exportés par des personnes différentes, il est très important que les paramètres pour générer les PDF soient identiques à chaque fois pour nous permettre de produire un magazine de qualité constante mois après mois. Pour atteindre ce but, nous cherchons actuellement à utiliser des scripts pour générer automatiquement les PDF à partir de Scribus en se basant sur des paramètres définis, mais en attendant nous emploierons les instructions ci-dessous qui décrivent tous les paramètres aussi bien pour les versions écran que pour les versions imprimées des articles.


Préparation pour la génération des PDF

The MMS site requires that article PDFs are uploaded using a specific naming convention based on the article identification number and the page number within the magazine where the article will sit.

Before generating PDFs it is good to obtain this information from MMS.

If you navigate to the article you are working on in the MMS site, the article and page number / numbers are clearly displayed.

Further down the article page on MMS, the exact naming convention can be seen e.g. ArticleNumber_PageNumber.pdf and ArticleNumber_Pagenumber_pub.pdf

If you are replacing PDFs that are already uploaded, the actual file name is visible also on the existing files.

Export PDF

Note: All PDF exports must be created using Scribus on a Raspberry Pi


Once your article is finished within Scribus:


  • Click on the PDF Export icon at the top of the menu bar or click on "Export" and then "Save to PDF" from the File menu.
  • Then follow either the Screen or Print sections below.


Once the PDFs are produced:


  • Rename the pdf files using the correct format article number_page number.pdf or article number_page number_pub.pdf
  • Upload the pdf files to the MMS article.


PDF pour l'affichage à l'écran

The key settings for screen PDFs are:

  • Create separate PDF files of each page. (The pages are joined together at the end and uploaded to our mirror sites and to issuu.com.)
  • Select:
    • Compression: Lossy JPG / Medium
    • EPS Graphics: 600 DPI
    • Resample Images: 600 DPI
  • All fonts embedded except FreeSans Bold which should be outlined
  • Output intended for Screen / web
  • No print marks or bleeds


The screen shots below show the exact settings for each section of the PDF export dialogue:

General settings must be as follows:

Example fonts settings, any fonts used should be embedded apart from FreeSans Bold:

No changes should be needed in Extras:
