Beginner Talk / Re: How Do I Get Downloaded Te...
Last post by a.l.e - Today at 07:00:52 AMScribus templates are Scribus documents that are saved as templates.
You cannot take random files downloaded from the internet and use them as your templates.
Anyway, you probably do not need to add them as templates.
If the files can be opened with Scribus, you can do that and use them as a base for your document.
Then you will use copies of you older Scribus documents as the base of your future documents.
As far as I know, this is how most people work.
Adding new templates is something experts do. Or your IT department, to make sure that your corporate work follows the rules.
If you share the link of one of the templates you downloaded, I can tell you more.

Last post by a.l.e - October 29, 2026, 04:07:04 PMI've opened the PDF provided by Avery on that page and used a free online tool to rotate it to the right.
I attach the result, opened with Scribus 1.7 and saved in a format suitable for Scribus 1.6.

Beginner Talk / Re: How can I rotate a PDF tem...
Last post by ehbowen - October 29, 2026, 02:43:43 PMIt's a little difficult to do directly, because I'm trying to do the job on my work computer, which is running the Windows version of Scribus 1.6.4--and company policy won't let me access the Scribus Forum. Right now I'm connecting from my personal Linux laptop on public Wi-fi.
Here are the Avery templates, though: https://www.avery.com/templates/61514 . The .pdf one is the only one that I could get to open in Scribus (although there may be a workaround which I'm not familiar with, yet), but when I try to rotate it into landscape mode I lose the guidelines.
Updating from 1.6.4 is possible, but...difficult. Corporate management does not like open source software, at all...but they won't spend the pennies for something commercial and equivalent, either. I had to get my division's Director to intervene and push through a ticket to get IT to install the 1.6.4 some months ago. Don't you just love corporate risk management?
