Anyone got any recommendations for #SelfHosting collaborative word processing software with reasonable #DesktopPublishing functionality?
I'm not looking for #Scribus online, but I need to do two column layouts, embedded graphics, PDF export, alternating headers/footers, and so forth.
On the collaborative support I'd like commenting functionality, the option to suggest text, and some version control.
#FLOSS very much preferred!
I'm trying to convince my design student daughter to try #Scribus as a #FOSS alternative to Adobe® InDesign® and I noticed NZ's Resene Paints is a partner!

Question for the #science folks: What do you use to make posters? I've heard Powerpoint, biorender, scribus. Anything else? Why do you use what you use?
Scribus 1.7 Dev
Dear #Scribus team,
I got a 54MB PDF (web output) from a 6x9 postcard with 4 (2 x 2) images 2MB each...
I am not good at math but 4 x 2MB is 8MB, considering that each images is reduced at 25%, where did Scribus get the other 46MB... 
Coucou le fedi, j'ai fait un jeu de carte !! Je le trouve stylax alors je partage :^)
Tout est réalisé avec des logiciels #opensource et imprimé en Alsace par les sympathiques Printeurope !
Le jeu original s'appelle "Gang of Four", créé par Lee F. Yih. J'ai redessiné toutes les cartes dans mon style dans le but de l'offrir à ma famille et mes amis (bon, ça devait être pour Noël à la base mais j'ai pris un peu de retard...)
Wrote a little blog post on Scribus' 1.7.0 release. https://nathanupchurch.com/blog/scribus-1-7-0-from-strength-to-strength/ #scribus #libregraphics #FLOSS #FOSS #design #linux

Hi! I started (veeery slowly) moving stuff from my Ko-fi to my own shop. First up is my short comic „The Shadow“, with its English and German digital and printed versions:

Office/Acrobat: #OnlyOffice, #LibreOffice
Maya: #Blender

I shared a screenshot with my installed #games yesterday, here are the graphical apps I have on my x86 Macbook Air, running Linux Mint.
Some not so well known apps there, like #Friction (an #AfterEffects clone). Even #QCad is not very well known, while it's actually very powerful (and GPL). Very Autocad-like UI-wise.
Hey all, I'm excited to be presenting next week at #UbuntuSummit ( https://events.canonical.com/event/51/contributions/546/). The goal is to demonstrate an all #OpenSource creative toolkit. Will be talking @Blender @inkscape @GIMP @krita @kdenlive #Scribus #webstudio @penpot. Any others you like?
Hello #PortfolioDay! 
I'm a German #creative person, living in #Edinburgh and #Lübeck. I've been sneakily changing to only using #OpenSource tools (#Inkscape #Krita #Scribus #Blender etc.) and so far no one has complained ^__^
Aside from #illustration and #GraphicDesign I've also been doing a lot of #3D / #fulldome work, which is a good mix!
I love #nature and #science (especially #astronomy 
), progressive #fantasy, #folktales and everything nerdy. #FightFascism!
So far, I've used #Inkscape "by default", thinking I was just using a tool I'm comfortable with because I know it well.
Today, I tried using "the right tool for the job" to make a simple restaurant menu.
Using #Scribus has been a pretty awful experience.
There is a table feature but it's horribly broken. It's not just that the borders can't be changed without editing the file as text. Somehow, the inside of the cells gets smaller near the bottom-right of the table; not the cells themselves, the space inside them.
There's a leftover script to import CSV in fake tables that are not resizable.
And the template for restaurant menu uses tabs to simulate a table.
@Remittancegirl Out of the frying pan, into the fire..?
Better still, why not at least try free, open source software like #darktable #inkscape #gimp #kdenlive #krita #blender #scribus
Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on the xpdf-3.0 code base. It is used by some popular open-source applications like Evince, Inkscape, LibreOffice 4.x, Okular and Scribus. If you view PDFs or export your SVG projects to PDF format, there is a high chance that your open-source application is using Poppler.
The latest stable release is poppler-24.06.1.tar.xz and was released on June 12, 2024.
What's all that fuss about #adobe? You can now legally use their #software without a license to train your natural intelligence on how to use software. It's in the contract.
I say "you" because I've been exclusively using #krita, #blender, #inkscape and #scribus on #linux for professional creative work for the last 4 years. Not only have I survived, I'm doing better than ever.
It turned out it wasn't the tools. Or maybe it is.
For the time being I still love what Affinity Designer can do, and switching between Raster and Vector modes is such a time saver for colouring/lettering.
But I feel like with the takeover from Canva it's only a matter of time before we lose something...
In the meantime I'm eager to try Scribus as an open source publishing tool. I've read good things (once you get past the horrid 90's interface).
