creating a pdf slideshow (with incremental slides) using inkscape
Dear fellow Inkscape friends,
I like Inkscape and prefer to draw my slides using Inkscape.
I coded a script for easily creating a PDF file out of a set of SVG files that can be used for presentations (each page being a slide).
It allows you to create incremental slides, using the xml ID tages of SVG. Using shift+ctrl+o you can easily change these tags.
Acrobat reader or evince work great in full screen, and acrobat is available on nearly every computer.
I have made everything (programs and manpage) available on a webpage:
http://volition.wustl.edu/slides
I just finished it, and it works fine for me; however, there might still be some errors in it.
There is also a short PDF tutorial/example (both in one!) on the webpage.

Nice. Last semester I needed such a tool and created my own that makes pngs which then make OOo Impress file and then optionally pdf from there. Your tool is much more interesting, though - the incremental idea.
Hint: Wouldn't it be even move convenient to put all files in presentation/ directory and name them
0010.svg 0020.svg 0030.svg ...
that would define the sequence without the need for 'list' file and you could always add 0015.svg later without renaming the rest. I used that approach without a problem.

This is cool. I think the two features I'd add would being able to call the program with "*.svg" or something like "[1-3]*.svg" and an option to be able to use the internal generation of postscript. It does work well for simpler slides (most of the ones I use).
