Scribus is quite tightly bound to the GUI. If you can cut down the
program to remove all the interactive part of the GUI then you might be
onto something, as it stands right now, the program will not support an
--export-pdf function.

It seems many people want this. Please go to bug #238 and post your idea
and aims for this functionality. It would be good for one method to be
created that solved all the peoples wishes in one go.
