It is the current thread where you are contributing as well (sub. PDF Editor in Ubuntu). > >> For further info, see: >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribus >> > > Then why is PDF one of the file types in File -> Open -> File Type in Scribus? > Perhaps because in Linux a non-PDF file can have a 'pdf' extension (unlike in Winodws where extenions matter(?)) without any problems. And also, a PDF file need not have only pdf as an extension. Example: $> file tosites.pdf <- this is a PDF file tosites.pdf: PDF document, version 1.4 $> mv tosites.pdf tosites.pl <- extension changed $> file tosites.pl tosites.pl: PDF document, version 1.4 <- still a PDF file $> touch delme.pdf <- extension is pdf but file is not ... $> file delme.pdf delme.pdf: empty <- ... true! So, the extension is useful to a human to guess the file type, but is not necessary for the computer. Other than that, I do not know why scribus would list pdf files. I think you should take this to scribus mailing list for better info. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
