Hello,
Just discovered Inkscape and I like it. Great work.
I designed a flyer and want to send it to some people so they can print the flyer. I always did this in OpenOffice.org Draw and exported the flyer as pdf, so everybody could easily open it.
Now I've used Inkscape to make my flyer and want to do the same. I wanted to open the flyer in Draw and use the functionality to save it as pdf but that won't work. Alse the standard svg and eps won't work. Maybe an idea to implement in the next version of Inkscape. Export to pdf.
But for now.. Is there an other way to create pdf from the flyer I created in Inkscape? I used some jpg's and text in the flyer.
Thanks, Marcel

If anything, export your flier as PNG, then use latex. With the graphicx package you can import PNG images, and then use pdflatex to generate your pdf.

If you were running a win32 OS you could install PDFcreator (FOSS) and print to that PDF virtual printer. But you didn't mention your OS, so please forgive my reference to a software for win32 if that is not an option. :)

This is pretty weak in Inkscape. They really need to use libgnomeprint and then you could just print to pdf or ps.
I don't understand why they don't do this, maybe someone on the list has an answer.

IIRC Inkscape can be built to use gnomeprint, though it is optional.

It can use GNOME Print, but unfortunately the GNOME Print driver doesn't use any of the GNOME Print GUI code -- so you can't select which output to use. Also, the printer abstraction, well, is lacking. So basically the only output that can be used is Postscript.
Kees looked into this to try to get PDF output working, but was unsuccessful.
You can set up a PDF output using ps2pdf. I've attached the inkmod file and a small script for that. It should work for 0.40+ (it'll be in CVS also).
