Scribus Support & Consultancy

Scribus is a desktop publishing (DTP) application, released under the GNU General Public License as free software. It is based on the free Qt toolkit. It is known for its broad set of page layout features comparable to leading non-free applications such as Adobe PageMaker, QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign. Scribus is designed for flexible layout and typesetting and the ability to prepare files for professional quality image setting equipment. It can also create animated and interactive PDF presentations and forms. Example uses include writing small newspapers, brochures, newsletters, posters and books. Scribus supports most major image formats including scalable vector graphics (SVG). Professional type/image setting features include CMYK colors and ICC color management. It has a built-in scripting engine using Python and is available in more than 24 languages. Native versions are available for Linux, Unix-like, Mac OS X, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows.

Scribus is open source software, which means that the user has the ability to change and customise it for their needs. Our consultants can provide expert support to manage and administer Scribus installations.
