*Scribus* is a free open-source desktop publishing program that works across
platforms and offers some impressive powerful features. Although it's
completely free, Scribus offers some serious publishing power including
support for CMYK color, separations, ICC color management and versatile PDF
creation. Although the interface isn't as slick as it could be, Scribus works
across platforms so it hasn't been designed with any one particular operating
system in mind. One thing that isn't so easy to master on Scribus is
formatting. You may encounter several formatting issues when importing text
as everything has to be done manually. Even just changing fonts doesn't
happen in real time - you have to change them and preview how they will look
in another window. You can however drag and drop elements with ease as well
as export documents in EPS, SVG and PDF format. Importing PDF and EPS isn't
so easy however - you need GhostScript to do so and this isn't easy for
beginners to scripting. *Scribus has a lot of potential although its
certainly not a patch on a Quark and can be very unintuitive to use at
times.*Download *Scribus 1.4.1* in Softonic
