Hi Utnik,
Sorry but I didn't get it. In the popup menu of a text frame if I click on properties I get a frame where I can trim the style of the text but I can't for instance correct errors like orthographic mistakes.
I do work know with two monitors but my story editor doesn't appear anywhere. What's funny is that some minutes ago I got the story editor open but now I can't. So much time lost !
Thank you in advance for explanation (but don't waste yours)
Regards
pierruel

Thank you Utnik,
I'll try your solution. As far as dinosaurs are concerned, in my family they know hat I'm a human beeing of ancient times, it fits. By the way, since we both live in Switzerland, probably both of us struggle for writing in a foreign language which I do not master ! Funny.
Best regards

Beginner Talk / Re: Import from InDesign?
Last post by dragonfly - February 17, 2025, 01:01:23 PM
I am revisiting this forum after a break of several years. So I am very rusty.

I am playing with importing various file types of the XML category.

Now IDML output might be converted to SVG then imported.

I am exploring restructuring SVG objects before import to Scribus.

In short I am developing a pipeline of tools where Scribus is one important end link. But after Scribus there is posting to a synced datavault for secure document delivery to specified parties.

Another interest is using external tool to "scaffold" Scribus SLA. "Sketching" the layout of Scribus and drawing together assets.

Thank you for your time and the clear answers !

I will split my colours before the imposition on Scribus, then.

The thread is resolved I think.

Did you use the version from Google Drive or did you build the Flatpak yourself?

Can you also check whether the problems also occur with this Flatpak version?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.7.0/

You can find information about new features here https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/1.7.0_Release
Or you can check the changelog file here https://github.com/scribusproject/scribus/blob/master/ChangeLog

Quote from: Beosar on February 15, 2025, 03:38:14 PMBasically all I want is to automatically convert an InDesign file to PDF. I already read it's possible with Scribus with a bit of coding but again, I can't do it if the result looks wrong and the text is getting cut off.

The InDesign to PDF is a key part here. InDesign is a proprietary  format. unless you are in a the ingredients to adobe's secret sauce, it is difficult to reverse engineer.

Check here, you may find an acceptable solution. You will have to determine what is acceptable due to the NDA. I noted a link to adobe that seems to have an online conversion tool, I think that might be your best bet. But the NDA and adobe's use of "AI" it may not a a solution for you.
