These days it's possible to use free software for almost everything, including document layout, a function that can be carried out with Scribus, a multiplatform open-source alternative to QuarkXPress
Select the correct paper format for the project; indicate the size and orientation; don't forget to adjust the margins, which are fundamental for getting a balanced design. It's also possible to use templates.
The next step consists of drawing the screentone over which the elements will be placed and define the sample pages. This characteristic allows you to save time not having to create the base page over and over again. Another way ot save time is to create personalized paragraph and line stiles (threads).
The elements that you insert in the page (text boxes, images, tables, shapes, polygons, Bezier curves..) can be grouped to facilitate page editing and locked to prevent unwanted changes.
With support for CMYK and ICC color administration, Scribus can save projects in PDF format without requiring help from another application. What's more, it also allows you to create PDF documents with editable controls (text boxes, check boxes, lists, etc.).

By definition script is interpreted. VBS is interpreted
by Windows Script Host. In IE it's intrerpreted by IE.
Likewise with javascript. Perl can be run on Windows
but the Perl interpreter must be installed.
I have no idea what scptd is. Mac script? My
impression was that Macs only had 'Apple script',
which seems to be simple commands written as
sentences. Someone would have to write a VBS
interpreter if you want to run it on a Mac. Though
Windows Script host can be installed under WINE
in Linux, so that's also a possibility.
The next issue you'd run into would be what to
do with it once you got it working. VBS is designed for
Windows and gets much of its power from COM
libraries. So you'd need to install the basics,
like scrrun.dll. Then you'd also have to figure out
how to use COM libraries on the Mac. What makes VBS
in WSH so different from browser script is the function
CreateObject. That allows VBS to load and use any
compatible COM object. But COM libraries are Windows.
They usually call Win32 API functions and/or other
Windows libraries. So it gets complicated. It's sort
of like asking if you can speak English in France. You
can, but it will only be useful when you find English-
speaking French people to talk to.
