 Scribus    

 

If your needs are more visual-oriented rather than simple text, then you can use Scribus.

Scribus is open-source, it includes brochures, newsletters, and books. It’s not just a PDF 

based editor, but you can use it also for layout work and can export to PDF.

Scribus can import files that were created in other desktop publishing formats, such as 

Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Publisher, as well as XPS.
