Beginner Talk / Re: How to create links within...
Last post by Dr. Mindermast - September 17, 2024, 02:36:01 PMI did some more experimenting and I figured out the basics. Here's the answer in case anyone else is looking for the same thing:
1. Click the Link Annotation button in the PDF Tools section of the toolbar.
2. Click and drag to create a box around where you want the link to be.
3. Double click on the box to open up the Annotation Properties dialog. The Type should already be set to Link, so leave it there. Under Destination, enter the page number and coordinates for your target.
4. If you turn on Preview Mode you can test your link to make sure that it takes you to the right place.
---------------
Now that I've got that down, can anyone tell me if there's an easier way to create an index that automatically links back to the main text, or do I have to just manually create links for every index entry?

Beginner Talk / How to create links within the...
Last post by Dr. Mindermast - September 17, 2024, 02:34:37 AMPlease forgive me if this is already answered somewhere, I haven't been able to find it...
For the document that I am working on, my goal for the end product is to have a PDF where some of the text links to other parts of the same document (e.g. if I write "see p25," you click and it jumps to the relevant section of page 25). The closest I've been able to find is how to embed links to a URL somewhere outside of the document, but I don't need that. How can I create links within the document itself?
Using version 1.6.1 if that makes a difference here.

User Interface / Indigo UI: Text Properties
Last post by tim_occ - September 16, 2024, 10:12:46 PMHi all,
I started to redesign the text properties panel.
Especially for the text color buttons, I tried a new approach with an icon. What do you think about it?

I have use Scribus on Ubuntu successfully for self publishing books, notebooks and calendars. I am looking to create diaries for this 2025, 1 page per day, any tutorial or guidance? 🤔 Thank youWe nee d a bit of clarification, are you creating a blank diary as a print version to be filled in. Or are you thinking about using scribus to write a diary "on the fly"?

Code / Re: 17x Won't Compile
Last post by Nermander - September 15, 2024, 09:40:50 AMI don't know anything for sure, but my first guess is that maybe you need a newer Qt library? (At least the Q suggests to me it is a Qt issue, and the error message indicates a declaration i missing.)
(I have never compiler Scribus myself, I just thought that since nobody else has answered I'd try to give you some input.)

Last post by Nermander - September 15, 2024, 09:37:06 AMI personally do not think Scribus is the best tool for such a project (even though it can probably be done with the Scribus Generator). It would probably be a lot easier to do in for example Libre Office.
I would probably have done it on my work PC (which has MS Office) using a combination of Excel (for the data, like dates, months, days, weekdays etc) and Word (using mail merge with the data from the Excel file). But that is just because since I use MS Office every day at work, this is what I know best.
