But for a quick and dirty solution, pdftk works, and generates a
reasonably good resolution in its output (though clearly not as good as
the original).
It does have sort of a kludg

Then these separate pages can be imported into Scribus.
pdftk can be found here: h

Dear all,
I have found a way to import multi-page pdfs. But it is repetitive.
I am trying to write a script to automate the process. But I have
