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.

alignment question
by Gergely Buday
Hi there,
I would like to do the following:
---
I would like to align elements: e-mail address and phone number to be
equally far from the vertical equator of the card, and their center be
on the same vertical line. How can I do that?
---
The latter thing, namely, to align the centers of two text objects can
be done according to
"Align horizontal centers to center of anchor"
of
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Align.html
but it is not clear how I could do the mirroring of two text objects
to the equator of the card. How could I do that?
Cheers

Bad cursor movement while dragging
by Carlos Alegría
Hi all,
I am facing an issue while trying to drag an element to move an object or
change an object dimensions. The cursor jumps to a random position after
dragging a couple of seconds. This makes the objet to suddenly change its
dimensions or its position, preventing me from making my drawing.
I am using Arch Linux + XFCE. I have searched on the bug database but could
not find anything referring to this behavior. Does anyone facing the same
(or a similar) issue that knows a workaround to solve it?
Thanks a lot

Is there a way to avoid CSS style attributes?
by unknown＠example.com
Hi,
inkscape usually puts a lot of attributes into a CSS style attribute, for
example:
<rect x="10" y="10" width="10" height="10"
style="fill:red;stroke:blue;stroke-width:2" />
Is there a way to tell inkscape to never use the style attribute but
instead use SVG attributes? For example:
<rect x="10" y="10" width="10" height="10"
fill="red" stroke="blue" stroke-width="2" />
Regards

Cutter recommendations?
by Terry Brown
Any recommendations for those paper / card cutters that can be driven
by Inkscape / an Ubuntu environment? Cricut and CraftRobo are a couple
of brands.
We're using Inkscape to design and print buttons, the round mylar
coated things you pin to your shirt, it works very well, clones and
clones of clones make it easy to control the number of each design
printed per sheet. We have a manual circle cutting device but aligning
it with the accuracy required is a pain, and it only cuts 1-3 circles at
a time (for more than one you stack pages, but that creates alignment
issues too).
So the immediate use for a cutter would be simply cutting 12 circles in
a sheet of regular weight paper, but something more versatile would be
good.
Thanks, Terry

Insert nodes via command line
by Antonio Roberts
Is it possible to insert nodes in an SVG, in the same way that the
"Insert new nodes into selected segments", via the command line?
