Hi Scribus Community !<div>I have a problem that probably many people have. I started using the experimental version of Scribus - the 1.4.Orc3 - and - as I'm sure anyone who uses it knows, it's buggy as hell !</div>
<div>But that's not the main problem.</div><div>The principal crisis is that I am in way too deep to abandon it at this point (I am finishing the second reformatting of a text - over 300 pages, with 250+ illustrations), and - here's the killer - I can't open my Scribus file/doc in any other version of Scribus.</div>
<div>Nor will this doc work in any other kind of software. I can convert it to pdf, of course, but no other pdf reader (I've tried about a dozen - a bunch of Windows pdf readers, and several Ubuntu/Linux types - I have both OS's on my computer, though the Scribus is installed on Windows XP) will render it manipulable. It just comes out as varying types of gibberish.</div>
<div>So - any ideas on how I can translate this document to another kind of publishing software ?</div><div>I've had several computer-savvy friends try to do this, without success.</div><div>But none of them have had much experience with Scribus, and I'm hoping someone in the community has faced down this particular demon, and won. </div>
<div>I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL if anyone with any ideas would offer comments/suggestions/ideas, etc. etc.</div><div>Thank you.</div><div>Marc</div>
