[scribus] PDF Opening Problem

[ugajin]

Scribus v 1.5.3 will open (convert) a PDF document and/or you can open a PDF file using e.g. Inkscape, save it as SVG and then Import it in Scribus v1.4.6. File > Import > Vector File.

Hi Matthew, 
 
convert the PDF to a Jpg or tif. Gimp will do that job. Maybe Scribus is 
able to import PDF-docs, too, but you will get in trouble lateron.
