I'm not an expert, so wait from the Scribus guys on this :
In Scribus, PDFs can only be imported as images / pictures. The fonts in
your PDF will be converted as pictures. And you'll get mostly bad results.
I had to do once something a bit similar as what you want to do. It took me
a good deal of time:
In the PDFs, I selected the text and put it in Scribus text frames. I then
took care of the 'pictures'. Basically, I had to recreate the PDFs pages
into Scribus pages.
I hope it helps
