Scribus Document Information

Overview

There are a couple of important points to consider in the doc info fields:

1. Scribus supports an initiative called the Dublin Core Initiative. Dublin Core, for short, is a set of specification on document meta-data.
2. The other feature is the fields on the First tab are used in PDF export, as well as also being part of Dublin Core meta-data. This data can be used by special indexing servers which can index PDF files, as well as Acrobat Reader. The Second tab contains meta-data in Dublin Core form which can also be used for using a database to track Scribus files.

Docinfo: First tab is the Document tab

The Second tab is document info which is strictly Dublin Core, thus defined by the specifications:

Docinfo: Second tab is "Further info"
