Scribus, alternative Linux à Microsoft Office Publisher
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Scribus is a strong, professional-grade replacement for Microsoft Publisher, particularly for users who need precise control over print output. It handles multi-page layouts, vector graphics, and complex color management far better than Publisher ever did. However, it has a steeper learning curve. If you are a casual user making simple flyers, the interface may feel overwhelming. But for anyone producing newsletters, brochures, or anything destined for a commercial printer, Scribus is the superior choice. It is native to Linux, fully open-source, and produces high-quality PDF/X files that printers respect.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Microsoft Office Publisher
Scribus cannot natively open Microsoft Publisher .pub files. You cannot simply drag and drop a .pub file into Scribus and expect it to work. To migrate, you must either manually rebuild the layout in Scribus using the original assets (images, text files) or convert the .pub file to a PDF or EPS on a Windows machine first, then import those into Scribus. Direct file compatibility is not available, so plan for some manual work if you have existing Publisher projects.
Passer de Microsoft Office Publisher à Scribus, étape par étape
- Install Scribus via your package manager or Flathub.
- Export your existing .pub files as PDF or EPS on a Windows machine for reference.
- Gather all original assets: high-resolution images, fonts, and text files.
- Create a new Scribus document with the same page dimensions and margins as your Publisher file.
- Rebuild the layout using Scribus's text frames and image tools, referencing the exported PDF for positioning.
- Set up master pages in Scribus to replicate repeating elements like headers and footers.

Can I open my old Publisher files directly in Scribus?
No. Scribus does not read .pub files. You must rebuild the layout manually or import intermediate formats like PDF or EPS that you export from Publisher on Windows.
Is Scribus suitable for home printing?
Yes. While it is built for professional press workflows, it works perfectly for home printing. You can export standard PDFs for home printers or high-quality PDF/X files if you are sending work to a professional printer.
Does Scribus support the same fonts as Publisher?
Scribus uses system fonts. If you have the same fonts installed on your Linux system that you used in Publisher, they will work. It supports OpenType and TrueType, so most standard fonts will be available if installed.
