[Scribus] Embedding a PDF inside a page

[Michael Petroni]

The problem by placing the pdf inside an image frame is, that it is 
automatically converted to a bitmap (settings seem to be the same as for 
eps graphics in preferences, default 300dpi) by ghostscript.

I'm planning to produce an ezine with contributed pages by other people 
which I will receive as pdf files. By placing inside an image frame, all 
text will be converted to bitmaps. This means not only loosing quality, 
the text is not markable in the pdf reader in the final output pdf any more.

thx & rg.
