Hello all, Often I include external PDF files into PDF document generated by ConTeXt. When I create a PDF document containing text in Scribus (or other application) and then I put it to my PDF file (generating by ConTeXt), then in final PDF document are unreadable characters. Is there a problem in Scribus character encoding or the fact that the fonts contained in the included PDF file ConTeXt unknown? Thanks for the advice. Jaroslav

It is hard to debug this without an actual file, but it sound similar to a problem we heard about a few weeks ago. Does this thread appear to refer to the same problem you have: http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2010-December/002354.html If yes, then the fix is already in the luatex repository. Best wishes, Taco
Thanx Taco... I just have found an interesting thing. If PDF file which is by Scribus generated (which in itself is useless) and then "print" by PDFCreator (or PDFXchange) to new PDF file, then the resulting PDF file can now be put into ConTeXt resulting PDF document without any problem. It probably means that the problem is in Scribus isn't it? Jaroslav Dne 10.1.2011 9:19, Taco Hoekwater napsal(a):

Not really. It does indeed mean that your almost certainly have the same problem as in that thread I linked. Scribus creates a slightly unusual Pdf, but the bug in luatex. PDFCreator converts the pdf to something more common, and that is why that helps, but Scribus' pdf is fine by itself. Best wishes, Taco
Yes, of course - Taco, you have right. PDF file from Scribus is itself applicable. I was wrong to comment... However, I found a way to temporarily solve my problem ... (use PDF printdriver - PDFcreator) ... and I wait to be removed an bug from LuaTeX.. Thanx Jaroslav Dne 10.1.2011 10:05, Taco Hoekwater napsal(a):
