    Question Vector Graphics Question

    Heya, I am used to Illustrator (fluent) and CorelDRAW(played).
    When I use my Linux box I try to somehow supplement these with Inkscape and/or XaraLX.

    Now here's the issue...I need something for multi-page support, which both, IL and CD have. I looked and found no solution for Inkscape (made it clear that it wasn't implemented). I read that XaraLX supports multi-page, but I haven't found any information on WHERE I can find that option. Any help?

    hi
    have you tried scribus, it's available through synaptic? and it does various multipage layouts double-sided, three/four fold etc

    yes I have, but I consider Scribus an alternative to inDesign. I need multipage support in a solid vector program like Illustrator or CorelDRAW.

    SK1 supports multipage, but is in early development.

    A workaround is to work with layers with inkscape, each layer will be be a page, and you can export like JessyInk presentation (PDF).

    What about reading multi-page documents?

    Reading what file format exactly? Reading in which application exactly? Please be more specific.

    You still don't specify what software you want to open them in

    Either way, you can choose what PDF's page you are importing to Inkscape. So you can create several layers in advance, then import them one by one. It's a bit tedious, but it should work.

    I just want an opensource vector software program like inkscape or xara (NOT SCRIBUS!) that has multi-page support.

    That would be sK1. It's not really feature complete, but it has multiple pages and does CMYK PDF exporting.
