| Warning/Error | Companion Text | Vetted by Scribus Dev | Added to Master |
|---|---|---|---|
| Image has Transparencies | This warning indicates that your document contains images that have a transparent layer. This is really only an issue if using older printing profiles. It is safe to ignore this when using modern printing methods, or exporting to PDF version greater than 1.4. | not yet | |
| Image is GIF | This warning alerts you that you are using a bitmap based graphic format (.gif is one of those) which will most likely result in poor viewing quality (for example: when commercially printed, viewed on a high-resolution screens, etc...). If your PDF will be printed commercially, there are some printing systems that will have difficulty printing these types of images. | not yet | |
| Image Resolution below X DPI | not yet | ||
| Empty Image Frame | If you have created an image frame, there is the presumption that you planned to put an image in it. | not yet | |
| Text Overflow | There is more text than can show in the frame as sized. Nonvisible excess characters like spaces and carriage returns may trigger this if nothing appears to be missing. | not yet |
