Templates and PDFs in Scribus
Ready for Press
In this final part of our three-part series [1][2],we’ll put the finishing touches on our Linux newspaper. You’ll learn how to generate a PDF,and you’ll find out what a real pre-press professional thinks about our project.

Basic page elements, such as the system for numbering pages (called the folio in publishing), should be identical, as should the fonts used throughout.
