More precisely Scribus can IMPORT a one-page pdf file using the file>import>vector menu item. It cannot use a pdf file as an argument to an image frame insert function. It is a mistake that many of us have made at least once. Think file menu. imported PDF file will make its own image frame. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
