Hi Wizlord,

This was suggested in the other thread on iStudio Publisher: [iStudio Publisher](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/istudio-publisher/5099/1)

I had a look at Scribus, but for me it has huge downsides, including problems with not recognising external disks, fonts and not reading RTF files as input … so I pass.

May suit you tho’ … you can’t beat the price! 😉
