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

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.

I can not choose a fill color
by Javier Garcia
Hi,
when I draw a box, it is transparent (the border is colored ok).
This is what i see in "Fill and stroke":
I tried to choose "Remove fill", but when i set a color again, the
squares pattern on the left keeps in "Fill:" (look at the image) in
"Fill and stroke".
0.48 and Ubuntu 12.10.

3D .STL capabillity
by || ΣΖΟ ||
I think it would be nice it there was a way to make simple .STL (3D) files.
Now I know that inkscape isn't aimed at true 3D but the ease of use of
inkscape is hard to find in any 3D modeling software.
Now i'm not proposing to transform Inkscape into a full blown 3D
modeling app. But it would be nice if it was possible to make
something like this:
http://worldofgnome.org/how-to-use-inkscape-to-print-3d/
completely in inkscape without the need of external software..
And have an option to cut out a few holes lets say to make a mounting plate.
This is something google came up with.
http://www.openbeamusa.com/images/products/226.jpg
So it is 2.5D not fully 3D.
All that's needed is an extrude thickness, and something that renders it to STL.
I'm not into coding, but I think this could be done? There are a few
other way's to do this but it would be wonderful if it could be done
without external apps.
Even better would be the full blown 3D transformation. But i'm not
sure if I dare to ask for that.

Fwd: Looking for Native Inkscape for Mac 10.7.5
by Jake Johnson
Hi All, I really love inkscape, but I am ready to ditch my mac just so I
can run native inkscape in linux. Before I do, does anyone have a native
version that doesn't use X11 on mac?

Inkscape Blu-Ray DVD success
by Phil Shapiro
Hi Inkscape fans,
Last night I had fun making this short demo that showcases how beautifully Inkscape's vector graphics
can show up on Blu-Ray videos.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dWOBtGbVeo
I tried quite hard to do this all on Linux, using OpenShot and k3b disc burning software. k3b will burn
Blu-Ray video to Blu-Ray discs -- but not to regular DVD disks. I don't own a Blu-Ray burner yet. If
anyone would like to chip in to help me buy an internal Blu-Ray burner for my Linux tower, i'm happy to give
a try at making a Blu-Ray disc using only free software (Inkscape, OpenShot, k3b).
The good news is that the price of blank Blu-Ray media has dropped quite a lot. I still prefer using DVD's.
