I echo the views of @a.l.e .. "i would like to ask you, what you are giving back.."
You have not given us the full picture.
If the goal is to convert *.idml to pdf there are on line services which I have searched to achieve this. In effect offering what you want.
So why bring Scribus into the loop? Why not use InDesign for the final stage?
However, just as an intellectual exercise, I have thought through how I would achieve this without GUI and on a remote server. You write that you can " edit the content of IDML file by coding". In the same way you can "edit the content of SLA file by coding". It is just XML parsing. You need to map IDML elements to SLA elements.
Here is what I'm doing:
I worked in a company that wants to build a software can generate a namecard PDF file from a IDML template for the employees.
And the restriction I have encountered is that the linux server is for Intranet and cannot connect to outside world. And the designer can only give me the InDesign file to work with.
I cannot find any InDesign for Linux.
So for now Scribus is the only software fits the requirement. That's why I keep asking on how to use Scribus to convert the file.
And I think there is a misunderstanding that I don't want to ask anyone to do the research for free. I actually just want to know if there is any existing solution for working on command line or similar approach.
And of course, thanks all of you giving the hints and I'm already looking on it.
Hope you all will understand.
