![]() ![]() We are already preparing a number of other documents in Scribus, which has become our main DTP tool for all future projects. It hasīeen very well received, and will bring us new work. The first complete document I wrote in Scribus was a solar water heating system manual, nearly 40 pages long, with a lot of pictures. Others, without having to pay extortionate rates for extra licenses for occasional users! I'm also delighted that Scribus is cross platform as we are slowly moving to Linux, and we can collaborate with Versions of those products would be prohibitively expensive for us. That's actually a lot less buggy for me, than Pagemaker 6.52 or InDesign 1.5, and upgrading to the latest I loaded 1.3.3.9, and with the exception of one bug that I raised in the very supportive email list, it has performed flawlessly, and printed very well. Our work is mostly related to sustainability, environmental and renewable energy projects, either as a 'Social Venture' or voluntary enterprise, so cost is important as well as functionality. I stumbled on Scribus more or less by accident, and having got fed up with paying Adobe for software, where the bugs mostly didn't get fixed, I thought I'd give it a try.

So I converted all my graphics into SVG format via Inkscape also on Ubuntu. I also didn't want to need to worry about resolution or the source file size being too small. I had a bunch of photos for one book and a bunch of drawing for the other and I wanted to make it available as a download on my website, so I wanted the size to be small. I used Scribus 1.3.3.x on Ubuntu Linux to produce the books. I had written other books before and had them successfully published with LaTeX, but for my picture books I thought it would be better to use Scribus. 1.20 The Treasure (Book) and Glory Rising (Hymnbook)Ģ007 Published Drawings Book and Photography Book.1.19 All print stuff for a small theatre in Dresden/Germany.1.17 Book MABI: Monopolios artificiales sobre bienes intangibles.1.16 All Possible Worlds, a quarterly magazine of science fiction and fantasy short stories.1.15 Le Tigre, paper monthly and web daily, french «curieux journal curieux».1.14 Êtes-vous libre ? – Libre Graphics Meeting 2007.1.13 G41 and G42, monthly community newpapers.1.12 eniXma, monthly pdf magazine in Turkish.1.11 o3 magazine, monthly pdf magazine, approx.1.10 Dragonia Magazine, monthly pdf magazine in Polish language, approx.1.9 Full Circle, the Ubuntu Community magazine, multilingual, approx.1.8 Zeszyty komiksowe, irregular comic art review in Polish language.1.7 Musician's rehearsal (Kammermusikproben) Musicians on the common search for the certain sound.1.6 All company brochures made with Scribus.1.5 Pro bono design for charities with Scribus.1.2 Manuals and other DTP projects at a UK based company.1.1 Published Drawings Book and Photography Book. ![]()
