Scribus Desktop Publishing
Open Source Desktop Publishing. Scribus is powerful software that helps you create great looking documents of all kinds. It also comes with a lot of support options to help you achieve the best result. There is an enthusiastic and friendly community around Scribus that assists beginner and pro alike. Scribus offers up a freeware desktop publisher that lacks the polish of more popular, pay-for-use programs. What it lacks in pretty design, though, it more than makes up for with a full complement of useful features that compare very favorably against more expensive competition. Scribus source tarballs, MacOSX aqua and Windows installers, SUSE and Redhat RPMS, and some supporting files can be found on the Scribus project's SourceForge downloads page
Scribus is an open-source program that brings award-winning professional page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X, OS/2 and Windows desktops with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout. Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, separations, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation. Scribus does have some oddities, mostly related to the scaling of imported images, but there's something else about it that's far more interesting: it painlessly brings in documents from the OpenOffice.org suite and it uses The GIMP for image editing. Linux Magazine Germany sponsors one of the Scribus developers. Hosting for this website, the Bug Tracker and Documentation websites is provided by Anduin.net / ?verby Consulting. |
