Scribus does not merge pages, however the PDF export dialog will allow you to reorganise the pages on export to support imposed page numbering, eg 1,28,2,27..

No Scribus does not do it.

But you can use any imposition software to do it*.

Or simply use the booklet function of your PDF reader for print your document as such.

* Personally, I do it with custom scripts on the command line, with multiple outputs, so I'm probably not the right person for suggesting software to use for it. But there will for sure other user who can give good suggestions.

I generate a "yearbook" in Publisher - each page is 1/4 of standard 8-1/2 x 11 paper.  So basically there are 4 pages on one paper AND the 2 above are the same as the 2 below.
Publisher keeps track of how the pages are grouped.  So for example, page 1 and 28 are printed together/ page 2 and 27 and so forth.
Can Scribus do this?

The other work I do with Publisher are regular full page newsletters which I'm sure this will handle.

I once - many, many years ago - programmed in assembler and basic :-)  I'm comfortable but I'm no longer facile with all the options out there.

Thanks

PDF Generation / I don't understand PDF buttons
Last post by MrHelpMe - May 28, 2025, 01:00:28 PM
Hey,

sorry, but I don't know how to add buttons. If I use the button "PDF push button" I can create an empty frame. With a double click unter "Options" I can edit "Text for Button Down" and "Text for Roll Over". But the button ceeps empty.

Who can I create a button that looks like a standard button?

I's using Scribus 1.6.4 under Windows 11.

On Linux (maybe on W as well, I have no experience there) you can use git to track your config files and have a separate branch per group.

General Discussion / Settings Profiles
Last post by hibert42 - May 25, 2025, 01:44:10 PM
Hey,
maybe I am not seeing this, so tell me if, please.

What I thought would be very usefull, is profiles for Settings.
Since I can activate/deactivate Fonts, set default fonts, set colors, color managment and all that
in the settings I wondern if it would be helpfull do allow different profiles.

For Example, I am working for different groups and all of them have different needs and setups. Like the standard Font.

Now it would be nice to have a little box on startup, to choose the settings profile from.

I Know, I can create Template and have all the settings in the file.

But all of my example, groups basicly use the same Page layouts but different Colors and Different Fonts.  They all have A3, A6, Instagram, Facebookheader etc. etc.

Just throwing this idea into the room, to see what others think about it.
