GIMP Version: 2.10.14 Operating System: Windows OS Version: Home 64bits GIMP Experience: Basic Level I know gimp can open and also create pdf's Is there anyway that it can create a four page spread and how would I do it? I did the pages as layers and came up with only one page (the last/top layer). |

There are snags with the Gimp 2.10 PDF export. Still somewhat work-in-progress. As above it will export a multipage PDF however - Text layers become separate pages - Layer groups are rendered as separate pages. Attachment: pdfexport.jpg [ 93.16 KiB | Viewed 1302 times ] The solution of course is merge any text with the appropriate layer and merge any layer group to a single layer. --------- Text information not 100% embedded on a single page. Typical scenario, a cover for an ebook. Only a single page needed so it can be built up with layers and text. If using a font that is only available on your computer do not expect other people to see it. It will be replaced by the system default font. This using a font in Gimp fonts folder but not available to the PDF viewer. That would also apply to a commercial printer.. The solution, flatten the image to a single layer before exporting.

The latest beta Inkscape version 1 (yes it has finally made v1) Correctly embeds the font information into the image. (at least that is what I found). |
