Scribus - Christoph Schäfer

Scribus is a powerful and versatile desktop publishing programme developed since 2001 by a group of programmers from all over the world, but mostly in Europe. It is available free of charge under the General Public Licence both in source code and binary format for all common and also some exotic platforms.

In addition to the usual DTP functions, its strengths include high reliability in PDF output, numerous import and export filters and additional PDF features such as presentations, forms or 3D PDF.

In some areas Scribus has been a pioneer. It was the first DTP program to support the demanding PDF/X-3 printing standard and is still the only software of its kind to offer both the LAB and HLC colour models in its colour dialogues. Scribus is also the only program to date that has integrated the Open Colour Systems Collection and other commercial and institutional colour palettes.

Years before the founding of the association freieFarbe e.V. there was a trusting cooperation between the Scribus project and Holger Everding or dtp studio oldenburg. The "Open Colour Systems Collection" is a result of this cooperation. Today Scribus is a member of the association.[:en]
