     If you want to load file.pdf into scribus, you can also do a symbolic
  link file.ps pointing to your file.pdf and ask scribus to load it "as a
  ps file". I usually do it from a command line, in that case it is

ln -s file.pdf file.ps

  but it can be done with any File Manager (although I don't know how...)
  This trick does not work for all files  (gs just died on one pdf file I
  tested), but I think it will work for most (all those that gs can process).

         Just my 2 eurocents,
