Scribus is an open-source program that brings professional page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X, OS/2 and Windows.Scribus supports professional features, such as CMYK color, spot color, separations, ICC color and robust commercial grade PDF.
Scribus is a DTP package that really packs a punch. It's highly useable, even though it has a rather steep learning curve. The PDF documents you can create with it are of professional quality. The 1.3.3.x releases are rock solid for production work. The upcoming 1.4 release has many hidden gems, like being able to embed instead of rasterizing EPS illustrations, greatly simplifying the workflow with Inkscape.
Another open source project bites the dust. Having downloaded Scribus I was informed (in the read file) that I should download ghostscript, and because I did not download ghostscript first I would have to update the link manually. Tried to download ghostscript, but got sent to a directory or poorly named files. Basically download has failed. This is the last time I bother with open source software. Crap. Get your act together and create a installation that works.
Great application, I use it for our company (and personally) with great results! Compatibility with our printing house is getting better and better with every new release.
Best open-source DTP
excellent tool
The best open source desktop publishing program. Like gimp and inkscape... they compose a suite!!
The best open source publishing program and one of the best open source programs period.
It's always nice to have such a high quality open source option.
