Look for the columns and indentation section, you may  need to click to expand it doe the options. You can adjust "margins" inside a text frame from there.

Sorry, my bad! I missed you were talking about a text box in a text box. I meant image in text box. It would be great if there would also be an easy setting for that.
This will give a quick work around, just add a stroke to the text frame and make it transparent. It has some limits as the stroke is added inward and outward from the image edge.

I hope that this

https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=1096

will solve the issue in most "simple" cases...
(I've now linked the two tickets)

hi amair

you may store frames in different sizes (with the increased contour line) in the scrapbook and use them in your layout.
unfortunately you can't just resize them as scribus doesn't resize the offset in a sane way. it keeps the offset at the same percentage instead of the same absolute value. (as one would like to see...)
i filed a feature request a couple of years ago, but no one is interested in it – i got no reaction.

Conference presentation

It was not possible to share my LiboCon 2025 slides about our developments, because it was a lightning talk without a dedicated web page,  so now  I've added the slides to my other presentation. Slide 12 contains a visual introduction:

PDF Generation / Re: pdf too big
Last post by Nermander - November 22, 2025, 08:10:49 AM
Are you exporting PDF from Scribus, or are you "printing to PDF"?

If you are printing to PDF, you would need to set the "PDF printer" to the right paper size.

Exporting PDF from Scribus is the better solution (because then you can even have different page size for different pages and get them in the right size).

hi eric

just uncheck all those marks in 'file' → 'document setup' → 'pre-press'. (or at the same place in the .pdf export window...)
