i'm going to create a Catalog for one of our proposals... as i've recently migrated to Ubuntu, i don't know tools to do such a job. In windows i might do this with MS PowerPoint or Adobe InDesign. here i just know OpenOffice Presentation.

I wanna create a simple and official catalog. and i want to have a wast range of available free templates to choose among.

what's the best tool to create a fast, well-looking PDF catalog?

  • The templates available in package scribus-templates (and on the site) are pretty few, sadly.
