When you say the pdf that you import looks terrible, did you, once imported into scribus, export it as a PDF and then view it in a pdf reader? Did you look at the original PDF in the same viewer?
I have found that some pdfs are so complicated that Scribus cannot render it in the window, but retains all the data for a flawless export to another pdf. Did you try importing it as a idml or idms file, no reason it should work, but you will never know unless you try.
