Workflows and Collaboration
| Q | A |
|---|---|
| When I email Scribus .sla documents to others, they have trouble opening them. How do I fix this? | Some have noted, some mailers add extra lines to the Scribus doc. Saving as a compressed sla.gz seems to fix this. Plus, Scribus files compress very well. |
| So, how can I work with others who might have other DTP applications? | Use EPS, SVG or PDF as an exchange format. Scribus created PDF files can be easily imported into a number of commercial applications. SVG import is excellent for vector artwork. Scribus can import EPS files as long as they are conforming to the specs - this includes spot colors in DCS 2.0 files. The documentation has detailed notes covering these subjects. You can also improve EPS import by ensuring you have the newest Ghostscript installed. |

|
Curio
| Q | A |
|---|---|
| Where does the name "Scribus" come from? | When Franz Schmid launched the project, the first working name was "Open Page", but thought to be too generic. Scribus derives from the Latin name of the official writers in Roman times, from which we get scribe or writer. This translates well into many languages besides English. The German word is schrift, for example. |
| How do you pronounce Scribus? | "Skry - bus". Long I, not short I. It is also similar to "Scribe" + "us". |
Legal Issues
| Q | A |
|---|---|
| How much does Scribus cost? | Both Scribus code and the application are free to download and use without any limitations. They are also free to distribute as long as you comply with the requirements of the GPLv2 license. |
Some people are not familiar with GPL license. So:
|
Yes to both without any reservations. |
