It is really simplistic, requires manual editing of character and paragraph styles, and supports only basic markup. One more thing that you will probably appreciate is a newly added Markdown importer. PDF, Adobe’s IDML, Quark’s XTG, and Krita’s KRA importers have all receieved minor improvements. And then you can Alt+Ctrl+Click to cycle through the items in a group. First, you get Ctrl+Click to select items below guides. Selection of objects on the canvas has been improved in two ways. So it’s really wide and obviously needs further redesign. The layout of the controls is pretty much the same as back when they were part of the Properties dock.
If it’s an image frame, you will get image properties and so on. If it’s a text frame, you will see text properties. Now when you select a frame, this dock will show frame-specific controls.
There are multiple nice improvements over PDF 1.5 (the latest supported version of PDF prior to this version) like an extension of the DeviceN mechanism for defining spot colors, or advanced encryption system, or being able to use PDF files as a container for embedding all sorts of data like 3D models.īut the real change you are going to see in Scribus right now is the embedding of OpenType fonts without converting them to TrueType or Type1 fonts. This revision of the standard is really not a new one, it was out back in 2004. This version of Scribus also comes with support for PDF 1.6. The Windows version doesn’t have it yet though. The two places where you can find this new option are the printing dialog itself and then, of course, the print preview dialog. Scribus developers started introducing PDF-based printing support and intend to eventually phase out PostScript-based printing.
