I have compiled Scribus for SuSE Linux 8.1 and 8.2, Yellowdog Linux 3.0 and Red Hat Linux 9. To install CUPS and QT on Red Hat install the KDE Desktop and KDE Developer packages. LittleCMS packages can be downloaded from here. SuSE Linux 8.x has all the necessary packages and they are installed by default, but Red Hat Linux and Debian Linux do not have TiffLib or Little CMS and they need to be downloaded and installed. It is good to have these but CUPS and LittleCMS are not required, but you will not be able to utilize all the features of Scribus without them. The configure script looks for QT 3.0.3 at least, CUPS, Tifflib, FreeType2 and LittleCMS. Debs are an efficient way of installation. The source code is downloaded and easy to configure and make. Scribus does not have any prebuilt RPM’s or binary packages available for it. Scribus is meant to one day replace Adobe InDesign, Quark Express and if it continues on its current path it will meet its goal. It is developed byįranz Schmid and his team of many contributors. It is written in QT so it can run on a variety of Operating Systems. Scribus is a open source Desktop Publishing Lapp. 1.0 came with so many bug fixes and has become so refined I decided to do a review of it. I have used Scribus both personally and professionally since the early development times. That was was my workaround last year, and I'm hoping to avoid doing that again this year.On Jthe Scribus project had a milestone release. You'll also notice that I drew in "lines" with the drawing tool underneath the "Name, Phone, Email, Special Requirements, and Family member" text fields. I just want to resolve the printing issue with Adobe. If anyone is interested in tinkering, I'm posting both the SLA and PDF files. Any other tips or advice for getting this to work with Adobe would be helpful. I'm also concerned because most of my users will probably be using Adobe reader. When I print the form with Foxit, the text field borders print correctly! However, now my OCD is making me wonder why it works on one viewer and not another. I also downloaded another PDF viewer called Foxit. I had a look at the preferences/settings and could not find anything related to printing. Thanks for the response! I am using Adobe Reader XI 11.0.3.
