Single SVG file to multi-page PDF
by donn
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?

Re: [Inkscape-user] Shrinking the results of JPG to SVG conversion
by Pranav Lal
Hi all,
Just a quick note to say that I need to batch convert the files so I can't
open inkscape and do things like trace the bitmap as shown on sites like

works-for-jpg-too/

Subject: Shrinking the results of JPG to SVG conversion
Hi all,
I have a number of *.jpg files that I need to convert to svg. I am using
inkscape for the conversion. The problem is that the resulting svg is almost
5 times the size of the jpeg file. I have tried saving the file in
compressed plain svg but with no success. The file is still very large. Is
there anything I can do to shrink the file? I have run an open source
cleanup tool called cleanSVG downloadable from codeplex but that has not
helped.
I am open to using other JPG to SVG converters if inkscape is not the right
tool for this exercise. Natively creating SVG is not an option at this
point.

Jessyink renumber effects order
by Johnny
Hi all,
Jessyink [1]is really a very nice extension to Inkscape to enable doing
dynamic presentations, I can really recommend it! There are two
versions, I use the latter, Jessyink 2.0.0-alpha1.
However, I usually end up adding effects and manually setting the order
and eventually running out of numbers. E.g. I start to number the
effects by 10, 20, 30, etc. but soon end up having orders 1, 2, 3, 4,
... and wanting to insert a new efect between e.g. 2 and 3. Therefore I
wonder, is there some way to renumber the effects to make some space
that I have missed?
As the svg-files are just text files, I am considering a script to do
this to find and renumber the effects; the finding part can be achieved by
e.g.
,----
| cat my_svg_file_with_jessyink.svg|grep "sodipodi:role=\"line\">[0-9]*</tspan></text>"|grep [0-9]*
`----
This gives all the lines with effect numbers, maybe sed or awk can be
used in a loop to renumber in order and increment by a
desired step (e.g. 10). Now, my skills are not really up to the task, so
before embarking, the question is is this really the best route to go or
are there any better ideas?
Thanks and cheers!

crisp lines and floating point
by Máirín Duffy
Hi,
I need a sanity check from you, my fellow Inkscape users, if you don't
mind:
Draw a 1 px straight vertical line using the pen tool, holding down Ctrl
to make sure it's straight.
Is there any way to do this such that the line does not end up on an X
value that is X.5, where X is any integer?
Same for a 1 px straight horizontal line - no matter where I click, no
matter which snapping options I enable, that sucker will only land on Y
values of something + 0.5.
Is this right? Is there anyway to avoid this? I've trained myself to
manually go in and delete the 0.5 and not even think about it, but I'm
trying to explain something to a new Inkscape user and I feel quite
silly explaining my odd way of going in to the X and Y coordinate boxes
and erasing the .5 off the end of the number to her.
Thanks,
~m

Re: [Inkscape-user] Default font selection

The solution is correct, but I think there is also a bug around,
although I couldn't track the origin yet.
I've experienced that unexpected default font change a lot of times
and I think there is some operation that's mistakenly setting it.
Maybe it's copying and pasting styles or something. I'm not sure since
I couldn't find a way to reproduce it consistently.
My 2 cents.
