Scribus Reviews

very good project

I can't get it to run, a better installer would make a big difference.

Great features ! excellent.

I'm thinking that anyone who has mastered Gimp, will have no trouble eventually mastering Scribus. This is not actually a good thing. What I find unnerving about both gimp and Scribus is the adoption of a workin method that leaves a lot to be desired. THe standard Microsoft GUI may not be perfect but it does serve the purpose of having programs that comply with it, all work with the same menu structure. This is a huge help for Office temps and casual employees. I get very angry watching someone I'm paying $45 an hour for, struggle with unfamiliar menus wiht thefew applications I use that are not MS GUI menu compliant. I composed a newsleter with Scribus. It took me 4 times as long as with software I'm familiar with. Maybe by the time someone gets comfortable enough to use Scribus on a daily basis, it will work a little faster in some areas I found it wanting in. I doubt I'll find the time to teach myself to use Scribus because of the unfamiliar way it works. I can't afford the time to adapt to Gimp either so for that reason continue with the constant upgrade mess the big A find so profitable. I congratulate the authors of Scribus in producing an accurate, stable alternative to current expensive and complicated offerings. It certainly does everything a basic publisher needs and does it well. Sure, I could get picky that some of my often used and much liked facilities like vertical justification are missing but in truth, only high level publishers would need them and Scribus is - I think, not aimed at that part of the market. For someone cash poor and time rich who wants to publish the local Church newsletter and similar, this could well bea very suitabl answer for them. For professionals... There are pleant of more suitable offering around and if you are profiting from using them, the high cost won't be a hurdle. Definately Scribus has potential. Thanks for putting in the effort you do in producing the application. I wish you well and hope you find a following of users. Ryadia

Thanks for the tool!! I must say that you’ve done a excellent job. I do appreciate finding it.

Do you have error messages?, like : • Path too long • Error cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk • Cannot delete file: Access is denied • The source or destination file may be in use. • The file is in use by another program or user. • Error Copying File or Folder. I often get such problems while working on my PC and it annoys me cause it wastes my time as well. When my friend told me about long path tool to get rid off such type errors. It works smoothly and doesn’t effect efficiency of my PC. You can try it. For your help I am giving you a link to download it freely. http://longpathtool.com/

Excellent publishing tool and a great alternative to Adobe's Pagemaker. It was not clear at first how to add multiple pages of text, but once I figured it out, it was a breeze.

One of the best free desktop publishing platform

I've been using this product for about 6 months and had some amazing results! Next to ID this is pretty much the IT publishing utility. Some extension to PDF Forms would be good though.

I have published brochures and magazine ads with Scribus v1.4. Though it may be more technical than InDesign (which I used to use), it WILL get the job done. Freedom from Adobe CS and Quark is worth the extra time reading Scribus forums for help to accomplish something. Scribus seem more stable on Linux than Mac.

Superb project, many thanks for giving out
