  • thanks for the demo,but scribus is NOT freeware, its FOSS(free open source software)

  • @hheintze1 Thank you I made the correction to title.

  • ok scribus is great but WHERE ARE THE TEMPLATES? Come one does anyone still release software without templates or some sort of a wizard?

  • Scribus is designed and marketed to mimick the features and behaviors of a professional layout program such as QuarkXpress or InDesign.

    Scribus is not akin to MS-Publisher, nor is MS-Publisher or the like used in the industry.

  • Ok I'm starting on Scribus, no previous DTP experience.

    If I want to print at Kinko's or OfficeMax,what file type is best to output the final work.

  • print to PDF. If scribus does not export or print to pdf (maybe a plugin required), install something like PrimoPDF (freeware).

  • Scribus is a nice publishing program. However, still not as advanced as other more professional programs like quark xpress and indesign. Scribus has the basis tools and features while quark and indesign have more advanced features. But still, it is open source and free! :)

  • @jasonscottpage no problem

  • Thanks for the demo.

  • i'm a teacher

    i use it in a class to write a page for a newspaper

    it's surely better than publisher for this goal, and the boys learned how to use it enjoing themself and finding a lot of ways to do a layout

  • Scribus is terrible. Clunky, confusing and annoying. I would rather pay for Indesign than use a free thing that is as annoying as this. I tried it several times on different computers. Sorry, some freeware is great. I am very pro open source software but Scribus and other open source software don't even come close to replacing InDesign.

  • Freeware != Free Open Source Software

  • i found this prog on the free software foundation site before, and now here. there, it's said you need requirements for this to work. for gimp, i didn't need anything. so do i really need the other progs for scribus to work? thx

  • if im trying to get the frame the properties wont come? can somebody help me please:O?
