layout application with a focus on high quality
commercial grade PDF and postscript export.
Originally developed on Linux, Scribus runs
natively on Windows 2000/XP and MacOSX. Scribus is
free of charge and source code is free to
download.

Underneath the modern and user friendly interface,
Scribus supports professional publishing features,
such as CMYK color, spot colors, separations, ICC

year.

developers with significant experience in
pre-press and newspaper publishing. Commercial
support for Scribus is available for companies and
