Summary0016603: Does Scribus work 1.5.6.1.dmg for iMac 10.15.7 Catalina?
DescriptionHello, I downloaded the 1.5.6.1.dmg for iMac 10.15.7 Catalina, and it does not load my PDF, although I could see the preview of the 391-page file. Then I saw on the blog page a message from last October that another Catalina user said it does not work. I then tried to find an earlier Scribus, but none was live. What to do?

1.5.6.1 is an old version, 1.5.7 is out. On Mac, 1.5.7 has a fix related to notarization.

However... Scribus is not a PDF editor, but a PDF producer. So you will have trouble trying to open such a big PDF file unless you have *lots* of memory on your computer. The PDF import functionality is intended at adding a few PDF pages in existing documents, not editing big PDFs. By default, text is imported at vector anyway, so you won't be able to modify text easily. 1.5.7 has a new "import PDF text has text" option, but it is *very* experimental at this stage and will not preserve PDF visual aspect.

I'm closing this issue, because this is not the place to ask such question. Please use forums.scribus.net for this.
