Single SVG file to multi-page PDF
by donn 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Anyone know how I could layout/hack a single Inkscape SVG file so that I can get a multi-page PDF out the other end? Inkscape -> layout tricks (maybe layers?) -> some process (maybe command line) -> PDF file with pages. At the moment I am laying-out logos and designs on a single 'page' which can be as tall as 9000 pixels. Is there a way to 'chop' a single PDF page like that into smaller chunks? \d

by Josh Andler 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Hey All, I just realized that apparently my brain was not working right a week and a half ago when announcing everywhere else, I forgot to notify the user list! I apologize greatly! After 5 months of bug fixing and vacation delays out of our control, the Inkscape Community is proud to announce that Inkscape 0.48.2 is out. This is our second bug fix release for 0.48 and it contains over 60 bug fixes to improve stability and functionality on all platforms. Check out the milestone page ( https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+milestone/0.48.2 ) for the full list of closed bug reports, or just jump right to downloading your package for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X ( http://inkscape.org/download/ ). We are also determined to make at least one more point release before it's time for 0.49. Stay tuned for more news! If you are a Windows user it is highly recommended to upgrade as it includes a security fix to a library we use. Cheers, Josh

CMYK-safe color maps.
by john Culleton 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

In Inkscape one can arrive at CMYK-equivalent colors but only if one of the four CMYK factors is zero. Is there any of the standard Inkscape palettes that contains only colors that are convertible to CMYK without significant color shift? I can build my own but this will be extremely tedious. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Re: [Inkscape-user] CMYK-safe color maps.

I know this isn't a very scientific method, but still :-) I'd import the color map to inkscape or GIMP and use the gamut warning to "mask" out of gamut colors. then capture the "masked" palette, then re-create the palette using the captured values. CMYK-Safe colors depend on the output CMYK profile, so it's probably impossible to have a generic "safe" palette without using a specific profile as starting point. I'm pretty sure this isn't the best way to do it (there has to be a programatic way to do it using RGB and CMYK profiles to compile a palette, but I don't know how to do it). IIrc the program Swatchbooker allows to choose profiles to "convert" palettes, but I could never make it work. hth, Gez

Distorting text.
by john Culleton 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Came across a string of text on a book cover where the first letter leans to the left, the last leans to the right, the middle character is upright and all the others have a lean dictated by their location with respect to the left or right end points. What filter should I be looking for? -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
