JPEG-compress embedded images in PDF
by Tristan Miller 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Greetings. The PDF files generated by Inkscape are unacceptably large when the document contains bitmap graphics. (An A5 book cover I just did is over 33 megabytes -- far too large to publish online.) I presume this is because Inkscape is embedding raw bitmaps into the PDF file, rather than using JPEG compression. Is there a tool which will postprocess a PDF file to convert the embedded bitmaps to embedded JPEGs? I would prefer something free (GPL or the like) and available for GNU/Linux.

Bitmap Export
by Docsonic 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

I have built a graphic in Inkscape for use on a web page, but I cannot get it to export properly. The main part of the graphic exports fine, as does the gradient, but the blurred 'shadow' just comes out as a solid colour, not blurred in any way. I am not a complete n00b on Inkscape but I have also not used the blur much and until IE handles svg (as it should!) I am stuck with using bitmaps. Anyone know what I am missing? (Files available on request.) As an aside- the new gradient edit on page is awesome but how do you change from a linear to a radial gradient without using the stroke/fill colours dialog which you are discussing removing? Many thanks, Tony

Hi, is it possible to tell inkscape to make use of more than one cpu? (while rendering, svg to png) Florian

inkscape and Xara
by Elwin Estle 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

Sometime back I remember seeing something about how Inscape was planning to merge with/share code with the open source version of Xara extreme. I was just curious, whatever happened to this idea? ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling? Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo!

Fit page to selection bug?
by Kyungjoon Lee 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

Hi, when I try to resize the canvas of an SVG file, sometimes the drawing shrinks as well. Example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Anatomy_of_an_amiotic_egg.svg Steps to reproduce: 1. select everything 2. open document properties 3. click on Fit page to selection Result: document gets resized, but image gets resized as well. Desired results: I want the canvas to shrink to fit the original image. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm using Inkscape 0.45.1 on Windows XP. Cheers, Kyungjun Lee

Automatic ligatures problem
by Kyungjoon Lee 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

Hi, I'm fond of Junicode, from: http://junicode.sourceforge.net/ I tried making some SVG files: http://blacksun.ivyro.net/img/junicode.svg But Firefox and Inkscape render it differently: http://blacksun.ivyro.net/img/junicode_ligatures_resized.png I was told that SVN versions of Inkscape would solve this problem, but I had no luck with the 0704070934 version from http://inkscape.modevia.com/ My platform is Windows XP SP2, with Uniscribe version 1.420.2600.2180 and the versions I've tried are Inkscape 0.40, 0.45.1, and 0704070934. Can someone duplicate my findings? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Cheers, Kyungjun Lee

Tablet Question
by Jessica MacKay 07 Apr '07

I have a Summasketch II (MM1201) that appears to be working fine, except that I can't get it to actually draw. Is there some configuration in Inkscape that I missed to get it to work properly?

nightly builds

Bill, Not that it really matters to me either way, but why build from source when you can get it already built for ya? Are you modifying the code to suit your needs? - Tony ----- Original Message ---- From: "Bill Baxter" <wbaxter@...155...> Didn't notice those... thanks. I'm building from source now, but my build has some issues, it seems (image loading doesn't work). I guess I can check the latest development build to see if things like that are an issue in the code or just in my build of it. So good to know they're out there. And to think, just a few days ago I was absolutely certain that Inkscape didn't even run on Windows. --bb
