You have to repeat the same process for every page in your PDF and then set the page number of the PDF to import in the image preferences.<br>
<br>
Far from ideal, but good for some things in a pinch.<br>
<br>
You can also load PDFs visually perfect into the GIMP, but then you will truly be out of the vector world all together... but again, good for some things in a pinch.<br>

Ah, thanks, that worked. That appears to convert the PDF over<br>
to a bitmap graphic. I think I would put it between inkscape<br>
and openoffice as far as usefulness. On the one hand it does<br>
render the PDF perfectly, on the other hard it's now a graphic<br>
so it can't be edited, and on a third hand of a mutant, it only<br>
works a page at a time.<br>
<br>
It is useful if all you want to do is add to a document or fill<br>
out a few blanks, on a PDF not designed to be filled out, for<br>
printing.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the tip,<br>

Scribus does not import pdfs. You have to open a blank<br>
document, and<br>
then insert a graphics object. You import the pdf into the<br>
graphics<br>
object. Stretch the graphics object to fit the area of the<br>
page you<br>
want. Then, insert text objects into the graphics object and<br>
type away.<br>
Save the document; export to pdf, ignore errors, and enjoy!<br>

I knew scribus would export PDFs, and is quite good at<br>
it, but I<br>
hadn't realized that it would also import them.<br>
That being said, I just tried importing a number of<br>
PDFs and it did<br>
a terrible job. Basically the documents were<br>
unrecognizable.<br>
<br>
Is this typical behavior for scribus, or am I doing<br>
something wrong?<br>

I'd swear I asked this but it isn't in the<br>
archives. Hans said<br>
something<br>
about acrostar but that was 7 years ago and I was<br>
wondering if<br>
anything<br>
new (better)has come about that allows us to input<br>
text onto a<br>
pdf. (the<br>
hans comment was in a thread with the words<br>
'fillable' and 'pdf'<br>
in the<br>
subject)<br>
