I subscribed to the scribus list just now. But in the mean time I use Openoffice to produce the pdf. It's not intuitive, is it? I think that I found it helps to save as a document first, then save as a template - don't know why, but it seemed to work better that way. Apart from that, I got this from Larry Sword on the Expert list: -- New From Template - 0.0.7 Downloading Templates Document templates can be found at http://www.scribus.net/ in the Downloads section. Installing Templates Extract the package to the template directory ~/.scribus/templates for the current user or PREFIX/share/scribus/templates for all users in the system. Preparing a template Make sure images and fonts you use can be used freely. If fonts cannot be shared do not collect them when saving as a template.The template creator should also make sure that the Installing Templates section above applies to their templates as well. This means a user should be able to download a template package and be able to extract them to the template directory and start using them. Removing a template Removing a template from the New From Template dialog will only remove the entry from the template.xml, it will not delete the document files. A popup menu with remove is only shown if you have write access to the template.xml file. Translating template.xml Copy an existing template.xml to a file called template.lang_COUNTRY.xml (use the same lang code that is present in the qm file for your language), for example template.fi.xml for Finnish language template.xml. The copy must be located in the same directory as the original template.xml so Scribus can load it. --- I have the Document set: /home/lsword/.scribus /Test /images /scripts /templates I place all templates in the /usr/lib/scribus/templates.

Anne Well the point is most printers use Macs and Adobe software. eps and .ai( adobe illustrator) are used for vector graphics whereas .pdf is bitmapped again and thus rejected. Scribus uses vectors as does Inkscape and I've allready bullied (read: drove 'm mad) my habitual printers into accepting .eps by default and slowly getting used to .svg files. If Adobe Illustrator would run on linux I'd find a way to get somebody else (preferably) to buy it for methough admittedly I love the way inkscape is getting along. BTW check out frontline for converting/tracing bitmaps to vectors (.svg or .ai or whatever) it works OK as long as the bitmap isn't too difficult/intricate. Another problem is the colours I have to send an extra mail as to exactly what colours should be used.that is if they're very specific. -- Good luck, HarM Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I've spent some hours trying to install a tarball of it, but get my usual screenful of things it can't find and needs. I have almost completely abandoned tarballs, as I can rarely get the things to install. They always stop during ./configure or make with lots and lots of error messages :-( Many thanks Keith Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
