[scribus] Quark .qxd import

if you can ask your friend for the xtg files this could be helpful.

than you can go for a multilayer approach:

- you can use pdfimages to get the images out of the pdf
- you can the pdf with inkscape to extract the vector drawings and save
  them as svg (or you can use scribus for it too)
- you can load the pdf pages into scribus and set them as a background
  for redoing the whole layout
- you can load the xtg files into the text files to get the text.
  (otherwise pdftotext, libreoffice or a simple copy paste will let you
  scrap the text from the pdf)

ciao && good luck!
