*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 Aqua
is a port of Scribus using Qt Free so that it looks and works much better on
OS X than Scribus in its raw form. 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 Aqua 1.4.1 RC3* in Softonic
