Hi Jimmy, It sounds like you must be importing into an image frame. What you want to do is to import as a vector file (File > Import > Get Vector File...). You have to be using one of the 1.5.x versions of Scribus, hopefully 1.5.3, which has a lot of enhancements. Once you import the file and place it, you will most like need to Ungroup, and perhaps a number of times, to get down to the element(s) you want to edit. https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Importing_PDF_files_as_Vector_Graphics Greg
