Trying to edit PDF for collaboration is a *bad* idea. If there were 
any format less suitable for editing it would be PDF. Here is 
why:http://rants.scribus.net/2006/12/10/pdf-surgery/

Where 'collaboration' via PDF works well is using PDF as a front end 
to data submission, much like web forms. They both have pluses and 
minuses. Where Scribus is concerned, aside from real Acrobat Pro, 
there is nothing else which can *create* PDF forms in such an easy 
manner.

In this case Ghostscript is missing or it is not being detected. 
http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=settings13 (at the 
bottom) has hints on how to set the preferences for using 
Ghostscript.
