What scribus tells you in your case? Does scribus shows in the file  
loader that  the imported pdf file (create an image frame and right- 
click on it, select "get image", and load a pdf)  has 600 dpi?

I did generate a pdf file to see how it looks like. It is far better  
than that what you see in the scribus editor when you enlarge them.   
However still you can see that the fonts of the imported pdf are not  
as sharped as when you write the text with scribus.
