Hello HTH,
Unfortunately scribus only supports svg, eps and pdf.
I had some mails with the developers of scribus.
The option to invoke scibus in the commandline is planned. But no one
knows when...
I also asked if there is any option to convert the src files to FO or
something like this. Nothing.
Using svg might be a solution.
The problem is, that my time is short and I never worked with svg like
this.
Do you know some libraries that provide functionality to add text and
images to svg files? Or where to start reading?
Regards student

Hello Student
The formats that LiveDocx supports are listed here:

Unfortunately, it does not support Scribus.
Unfortunately it looks like it's usage promotes the use of proprietary
formats.
Does something similar exist for an open standard format like ODF?
I personally am not familiar with the inner working of the Scribus
format, hence, I cannot say whether it is possible to manipulate the
source files, either directly or via the CLI.
Can anyone else shed some light on this?
It looks like Scribus uses an XML format. It should be possible to manipulate
the DOM and insert your values. Rendering out a PDF of the Scribus document
would be the tricky part.
I see this bug/request which looks like it has not been implemented:
http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=238
So perhaps it's a show stopper unless you patch Scribus yourself.
One idea:
If you are exporting the Scribus files as PDFs for use server side, why not
try exporting them as SVG instead. Then use those SVGs sever side to insert
the values and render out PDFs.
