I have also come to this conclusion. As I explained in a previous post, I currently try importing PDF adverts to our newspaper using (file/import ps/eps). This sometimes works, but more often we have to rasterize them. Soon, our advert design is going to be outsourced. My question is: Do we ask the design house to supply us with PDF's or TIFF's? What I mean is, can they make a TIFF with their shiny commercial software that will print better after importing into Scribus, than a rasterized PDF would? One day in the bright future we will be able to export PDF's from a program like Gimp and import them into Scribus. Thus producing snazzy graphics with crisp text (though I'd like to point out that I am VERY grateful for what we have already got with open source software!) Thanks in advance, Conal
