  • I’m assuming you’ve already tried Scribus? scribus.net

    If not, worth a pop (again?). You can export an existing indesign project as an idml file, and import that into Scribus and see what’s broken :)

    How well it’ll work is a little dependent on how complicated your projects are, or how embedded you are in Indesign or the wider Adobe ecosystem. In truth, I don’t know the full extent of Indesign’s abilities - but you can absolutely use Scribus to produce professional large scale graphics and short run publications etc for print though - though that’s obviously a little dependent on what format/spec your printer wants off you.

    If you’re just using it for single page posters/graphics etc, Inkscape covers a lot of the same ground too.

    In English, “biro” is the generic name for what is known elsewhere as a “ball-point” or “ball pen”. There may of course still be a “Biro” company somewhere, separate to that.

    [Edit] I mean English as in “language spoken in England” - I’m sure some of the other “Englishes” use a different word.
