Another way to do this, is to use the 0.46 version of Inkscape, which
can import PDF's really really well, then save as a svg file. Then
import the SVG file into Scribus. Then in theory you will still keep
your vectors from the PDF ..

You may have to play with the group/ungroup options in Inkscape to see
the PDF imported properly before exporting.
