Although importing PDF and EPS will be a hassle as you will need GhostScript to do so and this isn't easy for beginners to scripting. However, you can drag and drop elements with ease and export documents in EPS, SVG, and PDF format. You have to change them and preview how they will look in another window. Even just changing fonts doesn't happen in real-time. You may encounter several formatting issues when importing text as everything has to be done manually. One thing that isn't so easy to master on this design tool though is formatting. Although the interface isn't as slick as it could be, it works excellently across platforms so it hasn't been designed with any one particular operating system in mind. Scribus has been translated into more than 25 languages, and more are coming in the future.Although it's completely free, Scribus offers some publishing power including support for CMYK color, separations, ICC color management, and versatile PDF creation.
The file format is XML-based, allowing for even damaged documents to be recovered with a simple text editor. Scribus includes many useful features, such as powerful vector drawing tools, support for a huge number of file types via import/export filters, emulation of color blindness, or the rendering of markup languages like LaTeX or Lilypond inside Scribus. It supports many quality publishing features, such as CMYK colors, spot color support, ICC color management, and versatile PDF creation. Scribus is now completely cross-platform and runs natively on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2 Warp 4, eComStation, and Windows. You can make your PDF documents even more 'intelligent' by using Javascript from within Scribus. Scribus is also a great tool for authoring PDF documents with advanced features such as forms, buttons, passwords, and more.
Scribus will help design and produce magazines, newsletters, print advertising, brochures, calendars, and pretty much anything that requires text to look visually appealing on paper.
