not exactly.  i had mentioned acrobat (full version).  in distiller you can
set variables like image compression and such.  printers that i have worked
with modify default distiller settings for the equipment and materials they
use.  you can specify at what dpi an image will be reprocessed and to what
final resolution.

there is not much customization in scribus to "match" the customization of
acrobat distiller.  this does not make one or the other worse or better,
it's just an additional feature that would allow finer control between
scribus and a printer who uses distiller and acrobat.
