As for me,

at least with the same aspect-ratio, I would not try and do this within Scribus, but rather at the level of PDF.

 * use *one base Scribus file* in one of the selected page sizes (the largest 
one,
   preferably)
 * export to PDF
 * resize the PDF output using print to PDF (works only with a fixed aspect 
ratio!)

A second option would be to export to PDF from the main document

 * as separate pages
 * put these PDF pages into image frames in a Scribus blank document with a 
different
   page size
 * these frames and their content can be adjusted at will
 * if the aspect ratio is changed, rather than changing the proportions, you 
could some
   margins and keep the same aspect ratio for these frames.
 * exporting this new Scribus file to PDF (be sure to check the option «embed 
PDF and EPS»)

I have used a similar procedure as this second option to impose brochures on double-pages for the printing shop...

Hi!

My current task is adjusting an existing layout to different formats.
This could be a simple job of just scaling the whole thing, followed by
a few tweaks to fill the gaps caused by a different aspect ratio. It
isn’t in Scribus, due to 2 bugs:
- Scaling a text frame along with font size and line height via
Alt-Drag only works on a single frame.
- Scaling a group works until one ungroups it to edit parts of it, as
then text frames jump back to their initial line height.

Undo after trying either of these is broken, too.

There are old bug reports about these:
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=3423
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=15783
Both with severity “minor”. Well, these make Scribus almost unusable
for my current job.

Does anyone here know a workaround?
