However, in a Scribus document, all the connections, paths and objects are drawn using the toolbars and the field-of-view of the document window. That is how an InDesign object is connected and hovered over. If you open an InDesign file in your preferred vector-based software, you will notice that everything is still connected and hovered over. The only question that remains is: Which one is capable of doing what? InDesign is a vector-based software, and so is Scribus. Let’s see if we can find out if Scribus can open InDesign files. The reason this is a concern is because even though both programs can edit vector-based graphics, they have different features and editing capabilities. Yes, Scribus can open InDesign files, however, it isn’t always a good thing to do. So, what are you to do if you are an Adobe InDesign user and want to work with vector-based files in Scribus? The good news is, there are a few ways to do so. You can get the latest Scribus 1.5.x in many ways:Įxporting to IDML is not there yet, but if there is interest for it, somebody sponsors it (and eventually somebody else programs it) it should not be that hard to create an exporter from the Scribus native format to IDML.It is one of the most popular publishing applications and a must-have for any professional editor. Scribus and InDesign do not have exactly the same features set, so it's not always possible to import every item in the InDesign file. We need more test files that fail to fix the importer. The quality of the import is rather good but not perfect yet: The features are already in the Scribus 1.5.x development version and you can you can currently "import" IDML and IDMS files from InDesign. Scribus 1.6 (the next future stable version) will have some ways, but I'm not sure that you will be really able to go back and forth between InDesign and Scribus. Scribus 1.4.x (the one mentioned in the wiki article you're linking) has no way to exchange content with InDesign (in the way you're aiming to).
