Mike, Scribus does not import pdf files. What you do, is start with a new document, then click on the graphic icon to add an image to the document. Drag the graphic icon to the document, expand it. Then right click on it and add the pdf file to the graphic window. Expand the window to fit the page

I have found Scribus to be the best. It is not a pdf editor per se, but if you want to add information to a pdf file, you bring the pdf in as an image then insert text fields in the places you want to add text. Can also add graphics, or make drawings, etc. Then export as a pdf and it is all there i
