Text can be imported from OpenDocument text documents, as well as Writer, Microsoft Word and HTML formats (although some limitations apply). The file format, called SLA, is based on XML. While PDF export is very good, it is not currently able to import/edit PDF files, and PDFs exported from Scribus 1.3.3.x and earlier are not searchable in Acrobat Reader if the fonts were outlined/subsetted as vector objects. PDF support includes transparency, encryption and a large set of the PDF 1.4 spec as well as PDF/X3, including interactive PDFs form fields, annotations and bookmarks. The internal driver supports full Level 2 PostScript constructs and a large subset of Level 3 constructs. Printing is achieved using its own internal level 3 PostScript driver, including support for font embedding and sub-setting with TrueType, Type 1 and OpenType fonts. It has a built-in scripting engine using Python. Professional type/image setting features include CMYK colors and ICC color management. Scribus supports most major image formats including scalable vector graphics (SVG). Example uses include writing small newspapers, brochures, newsletters, posters and books. It can also create animated and interactive PDF presentations and forms. Scribus is designed for flexible layout and typesetting and the ability to prepare files for professional quality image setting equipment. This README.md file is geared toward the Scribus github repository which serves as a mirror for the Scribus Subversion repository svn:///trunk/. Free publishing application with a broad set of page layout features, comparable to leading non-free applications such as Adobe PageMaker and PagePlus
