General Discussion / Re: Scribus screws up my pages
Last post by a.l.e - October 22, 2026, 06:52:26 PMGood Evening N00bie
First, something completely different: the size of your document are a bit strange... if you want A4 + bleed, you should add the bleed, instead of using a custom page size...
Now for your problem.
Would it be possible, that you did some more steps that are not listed in your post?
I'm not aware that resizing pages or master pages can make your images fly around all over the place...
You might have hit a really bad bug... but it's a bit strange that nobody else has reported that editing master pages randomizes the position of the frames in the pages...
Anyway, you probably have a master page that has not the same size as the pages you created.
You applied the master page to the pages.
And now the pages have been resized.
What you can do now?
If the pages were of the right size and the master page not, resize the master page (and maybe reapply it to the pages).
If it's the other round, then you placed the images at the wrong position and you will have to move them to the right one.
But from what you wrote, that should not be the case.
All this if you did not hit a bug, but your images are simply not any more at the same distance from the right / bottom margin.

General Discussion / Scribus screws up my pages
Last post by N00bie - October 22, 2026, 05:48:55 PMHey!
I am completely new to the scribus program, I'm running 1.6.6 on Mac.
I created a new document with
215,900 mm width
279,400 mm height
I added different images to the pages.
I then went to master pages and created a frame on a masterpage, that frame (polygon) was supposed to apply to every odd page.
I clicked ok, then come back and see that all my document pages have been resized
all my carefully placed images are all over the place, over and under the pages
I can't get it back to how it was.
Please help me get it back to how it was and not have this problem.
Thanks!

Pour le premier ce n'est pas moi qui est fait la mise en page donc l'utilisation de scribus est nouvelle pour moi. Je me lance un nouveau défi. Faire parti d'une communauté est donc important . Merci pour la création de ce logiciel et l'existence de ce forum.

Layout Issues / Re: Is a continuous document p...
Last post by a.l.e - October 18, 2026, 05:04:48 PMEpub would be a good format.
Scribus 1.7 should be able to export to it.
But, then, you have less control on the layout and if that's your only output, you might want to use something else than Scribus for creating your Epub : - )

Last post by Nermander - October 18, 2026, 03:56:43 PMPDF is a page oriented format, so there is likely no way you can create a PDF without page breaks. If you want something continuous you need to use some other format.

General Discussion / Joining lines from pasted text
Last post by a.l.e - October 17, 2026, 07:16:07 PMWhen copying text from a PDF, we often get the text line by line.
https://github.com/aoloe/scribus-script-repository/tree/master/join-lines
Today, I wrote a script that joins those lines in paragraphs.
If you copy the "scribus-script-repository" repository on your disk and add it to your script folders in "Preferences > Scripts", then you can simply run it from the Scripts menu:
Of course, you can also just copy the Python file in your own collection of scripts.
Please read the README in the folder linked above for the exact behavior of the script.

Last post by AdmFubar - October 17, 2026, 05:04:55 PMi do believe that scribus can export in html, then you can just open the file in your browser locally, no web server needed
