[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Scribus is a desktop publishing software which is available for free. So, you won’t have to pay anything to use this feature-rich tool. It was first released in the year 2003. Also, this software is developed and distributed by The Scribus Team. The main feature is that it follows the open-source approach. In this way, it will allow you to access the source code. Even, you can use changes to that code as well. But, you should be very careful while doing it. Moreover, there is no need for a license in order to do it. Plus, it has support for bitmap format which is a pretty rare feature. There is also a scripting engine which is built-in within the software. Other than that, the software is available for a wide range of languages which makes it a multi-lingual software. It has support for 60 different languages.

Along with the above features, Scribus offers cross-platform compatibility. It means that the software is available for multiple platforms. Those platforms include:

• Windows.
• Linux.
• Mac OS.
• Solaris.
• OpenBSD.

With this wide range of availability, there won’t be any type of compatibility issues. There is another great feature that it supports a large list of file formats. Those formats are:

• SVG.
• Xfig.
• Encapsulated Postscript.
• Illustrator Files.

It also consists of some other handy features like spot colours, ICC colour management, CMYK, direct editing of vector drawings. There is a small learning curve in order to use the tool. So, you might have to see some tutorials before using it.
