Hi Rob,<br><br>Thank you very much for your quick reply.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Could you give a little more information about what your workflow looks<br>
like? What type of material do you need to prepare? How is it currently<br>
stored? Does the process need to be completely automated?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Workflow is as mentioned in draft of end-to-end publishing solution (Use case #3). We are using our own CMS and then DTP softwares fetch data from database (mysql) of this CMS. Then all pre-press activities are carried out as per industry practice and requirements. <br>

In my own experience, I've been using completely open source options for a<br>
while, and it's generally been positive. But then, that includes other<br>
technologies (such as DocBook and LaTeX) in addition to Scribus.<br></blockquote><div><br>i was thinking to use ascii document format which can be later converted in pdf. What is your opinion on this? <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

There are a variety of open source publishing tools, but in order to provide<br>
better recommendations, it is necessary to understand what you are trying to<br>
accomplish. The workflow for a catalog can be quite different than that for<br>
program documentation.<br></blockquote><div><br>I am trying to replace a proprietary software,which is well integrated in existing environment and is a major block for migration to linux on our desktops.<br>If you need further details,please tell me.<br>
