Greetings all, I am considering Scribus after recently losing my HD (although not my user data) and becoming "orphaned" of the Adobe CS 5 suite of applications. Having never enjoyed Adobe products, nor their lousy "service", I'm taking this 'problem' as a great opportunity to try something different. And nothing beats Scribus price-wise of course!
Must confess though I am a bit worried about the transition, so here are a few real novice questions: - How steep a learning curve should I expect? In other words -will it take hours, days or weeks (for an 'old dog' who used to be a relatively fast learner) to get used to Scribus? - During one of the searches I ran on duckduckgo, I remember coming across a tutorial that highlighted the differences between Scribus and InDesign/QuarXpress. Apparently I did not bookmark it and don't seem to be able to find it any more. Any bells ringing...? - I have InDesign files for a few manuals, as well as the resulting PDFs ready for printing. Individual chapters also exist in .doc format, minus some of the editing and a lot of the formatting. Is there any way to extract and convert to Scribus any of the formatting information from the PDF or InDesign files -especially margins and styles? Thanking you in advance, Ciao for now :-) marina --- Italy or Australia MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, OS X 10.9.5 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.8 www.mtadiello.com @martadiello
