This tutorial will show you how to create a threefold brochure step by step.

Some random notes:

  • I will be using Scribus 1.3.5svn: if you are just starting using Scribus you should stick with the stable version (1.3.3.12 at the time of writing). You will recognize all the steps i will do.
  • The measures are for an A4 page

Create the document

3fold - new document.png

Create a new file:

[1] Choose the Single Page document layout

[2] Set the orientation as Landscape

[3] Set a margin of 1 cm for the page

  • You can use any value you whish for the border around the text: 1 cm is a good value.
  • You can replace the measure in points with 1 cm: Scribus will convert the value for you!

[4] I would leave the default unit as Points, but you may set it to Millimeters if you prefere.
