Scribus has been translated into more than 25 languages, and more are coming in the future.

Unlike proprietary binary file formats, even damaged documents can be recovered with a simple text editor - sometimes a challenging problem with other page layout programs. The Scribus file format is XML-based and open. Scribus has many unexpected touches, such as powerful vector drawing tools, support for a huge number of file types via import/export filters, emulation of color blindness or the rendering of markup languages like LaTeX or Lilypond inside Scribus. Update automatically or install from the portable app store in the Platform.

And it's open source and completely free. It's packaged in Format so it can easily integrate with the Platform. Ghostscript Portable, which Scribus uses for postscript and PDF handling, is also available.

Underneath a modern and user-friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as color separations, CMYK and Spot Color support, ICC color management, and versatile PDF creation. Scribus is an Open Source program that brings professional page layout to your desktop with a combination of press-ready output and new approaches to page design. and the Scribus Team are proud to announce the release of Scribus Portable 1.4.7.
