When printing, conversion to PDF/X is needed. Thank you so much for your detailed answer - I really appreciate it.Ī few notes on my use case: we're processing scientific papers (PDF, with hundreds of pages of content and hundreds of figures at times) that eventually get printed. Long and complicated: Yes, but at least it is not dumbed-down click-n-wish.

screenshot with result open in PDF viewer: Choose a quality setting less than 100 and the bitmaps are jpeg, makes a big difference to the PDF size. Caveats, will fail with layer groups and layer mask so up-to-you to flatten first. There is a (old, bit flakey) plug-in export-layers-to-pdf.py (attached) that uses IM (see note about pdf format) to export the layers to a temp folder, combines those to a new PDF. ImageMagick same as Gimp, rasterizes any file so you do end up with large PDF's Had to go into /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml and comment out those disabled formats. I use Kubuntu 16.04 that command suddenly stopped working with the last update, a month ago. (11-08-2018, 10:01 AM)rich2005 Wrote: Apart from a bespoke plugin and Ofnuts gave advice on that.

(oh, just seen you are from CERN - very impressive)īefore Gimp I was using.Microsoft Paint :-P So thankfully no PS habits to drop but not much experience either to help me. Probably not using a cutting edge linux, again nothing wrong with that. Using Gimp 2.8, nothing wrong with that, old plugins more likely to work.

That is unfortunately already a preventing issue for me. (11-07-2018, 09:56 PM)Ofnuts Wrote: You can't specify the resolution when importing them via the API, unfortunately.

Install ImageMagick (IM), it is probably already there, if not it will be in your disto repository.Įxport all the layers, there are scripts/plugins for this, the attached sg-save-all-layers.scm exports as png, will flatten layer groups and layer masks (not all will do that) screenshot: Now combine those into a PDF using IM convert command It is command line but more suitable for a linux bash file. Depending on the number of pure text pages this can make a big difference in the final PDF size.Įdit: Also have a look at pdftk. If many of pages are pure text, splitting allows picking just the graphic pages from the PDF(s) to be edited/recombined. Combining will give a single PDF to open in Gimp.

There are scripts/plug-ins that will rename layers with consecutive numbers.Ī better way is combine the pdfs beforehand with a utility such as PDFsam (pdf split-and-merge) there is a free version. 1,2,3, 1#1,2#1,3#1,4 which can result in a scrambled final combined PDF.

If the PDF's are multi-page, Gimp will number the layers per document ie. What was a scalable vector (including text) becomes a fixed ppi bitmap. Take into consideration that Gimp will render the PDF(s) to bitmaps. Gimp can open as layers but that involves 100 clicks on the import button. My thoughts on the subject.ġ00 PDF's to open.
