Would it be interesting and possible, once we get QML/QtQuick2 working, to have plugins that integrate some of these CLI pdf tools and call them within Scribus? Of course I want to be mindful of the fact that we don't want to create more code to maintain and upkeep. That's why I'm thinking of a solution that would just be a GUI wrapper around said 3rd party CLI PDF tool. Sort of how there are GUIs for ffmpeg and such...
