Hello ALL,
Thanks to Nermander and the rest of Scribus community.
FYI; I have evaluated over 30 DTP tools against our requirements and came up with two front-runners; Scribus and FrameMaker!
I am a novice user of Scribus - recently joined the forum! I am currently using Scribus version 1.4.2 on Windows 7. We plan to use (hopefully) it on Linux/Unix servers (Solaris/Red Hat/Ubuntu) as well we usually use the latest versions / patches of the OS.
At a public agency, we are upgrading our enterprise publishing and authoring system. To this end, we have identified two applications; Scribus and FrameMaker to substitute our current tools. Having said this, we are in the “Point of Concept” (POC) process to evaluate both Scribus and FrameMaker against the requirements. I am now asked to create at least three documents to be printed on recycled papers in black ink. The documents are will have 32 pages, 64 pages, and 1024 pages. Once these three documents are created, I have to create a script to merge the three document (to create a book), and create a TOC of the merged document.
I know that I will need our community help to accomplish my project. To begin, I wonder if anyone has a suggestion on best-practices!
Greatly appreciate your help,
David
