Application: Scribus
What it is:
Scribus is an open source desktop page layout program with the aim of
producing commercial grade output in PDF and Postscript, primarily,
though
not exclusively for Linux.
Features:
Scribus can be used for many tasks; from brochure design to
newspapers, magazines, newsletters and posters to technical
documentation. It has
sophisticated page layout features like precision placing and rotating
of text and/or images on a page, manual kerning of type, bezier curves
polygons,
precision placement of objects, layering with RGB and CMYK custom
colors. The Scribus document file format is XML-based. Unlike
proprietary binary file formats, even damaged documents, can be
recovered with a simple text editor.
