if you can ask your friend for the xtg files this could be helpful.<br>
<br>
than you can go for a multilayer approach:<br>
<br>
- you can use pdfimages to get the images out of the pdf<br>
- you can the pdf with inkscape to extract the vector drawings and save<br>
them as svg (or you can use scribus for it too)<br>
- you can load the pdf pages into scribus and set them as a background<br>
for redoing the whole layout<br>
- you can load the xtg files into the text files to get the text.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Only to insist on what Ale is already mentioning: XPress Tags is for the text part only of a QuarkXPress document. Thus, the XPress file itself (.qxp) is not an XPress Tags file. The XPress tag file is a regular .txt file that contains specific infos. To obtain the XPress tags file, you must do that from within QuarkXPress and export the text as XPress tags. The result will be a readable text from any text editor: it contains a header that describes all the text styles used in the document and then the tagged document. This can be imported into Scribus which will hopefully know how to interpret the tags and keep the text formatting.<br><br></div><div>HTH<br><br></div><div>Louis<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
(otherwise pdftotext, libreoffice or a simple copy paste will let you<br>
scrap the text from the pdf)<br>
<br>
ciao && good luck!<br>
