Pre-Sales Question

12/31/24  MS Publisher ended last night for me.  Would Scribus handle the following for me.
Looking for something simple and a one time cost versus MS annual fees, and drop us at the end.

In MS Pub I would setup say 20 pages.  This is for my genealogy.  On each page, I make a text box.  I add genealogy info in each box.  Often, I copy page or insert a photo.
When done, I export as a PDFfile.

Then I go to my WIX site.  I hit a few buttons and bring in that PDF file.  Done.
I don't need anything else.  Will Scribus do this?  Thank you for your advice.  Glen

Slightly longer answer: Scribus can do most things Publisher can do.

Probably, in Scribus there is a way to achieve all you can do in Publisher.
Sometimes, it's less straightforward.
Sometimes, Scribus provides more "professional" features, which are not always as easy to use.

Both are apps for layout, and it should not be too hard to discover how to get things done in Scribus.

And do not hesitate to ask here, if you have doubts or get stuck!
