On Windows, you have to download and install Ghostscript in order to import PDF or EPS files in image frames :
https://ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html
Ghostscript is provided by default on Linux systems.

In case it helps, check the "Installing Ghostscript on Windows" section of following page:
https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Installation_and_Configuration_of_Ghostscript

Once installed on Windows, normally Scribus detects Ghostscript automatically.
