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.

DBus api signals
by cabieces julien
Hi,
I have to produce a "plugin" for Inkscape. Python exception
functionnalities are not enough for what I want to do so I came to try the
DBus Api.
With this one, I can communicate from my plugin to Inkscape but not in the
other way. The only implemented signal is "ObjectMoved" but I need to know
when Inkscape modifies a node, adds an attribute or things like that.
I look after the dbus extension code and it seems that the signals that I
want are described in proposed-interface.xml and are not yet implemented.
Is there any way to achieve what I want to do? Is there further development
forecast for dbus extension? Is this possible to propose eventually patch?
Thanks for the reply

Importing graphs from Excel
by Jurgen Gaeremyn
Hello list,
for an article I need to edit a graph made in Excel (2007).
This is my current workflow:
1. In Excel: Print to PDF (using Cute PDF)
2. Open the PDF file in Inkscape
The big caveat is: text items don't behave well at all. They are really
naughty :p
-> when changing fonts or size, the spacing doesn't adapt (so text gets
squashed when a bigger font is chosen)
-> certain text elements that don't belong together, all of the sudden
become one item (f.e. the scale items and the R² text, but the ² is a
different text block)
Currently, the only solution I see, is retyping all the text manually.
Obviously, this is quite a waste of time.
I hope some of you know a better solution for this...
Thanks,
Jurgen.
