Support for higher-resolution PDF conversion #2812

Open tasket opened 7 years ago

tasket commented 7 years ago

Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2):

R3.2

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable):

all

Expected behavior:

Sanitized document that is suitable for presentation in a professional setting. Generally this means around 300 ppi and greater.

Actual behavior:

Conversion script uses pdftocairo default of 150 ppi, which can imapact readability and leave a poor impression.

General notes:

Balancing quality with the increase in file size is no doubt important, however given the capacities of modern machines it may be better to use 300 ppi as a default for Qubes and allow the user to specify a different resolution on the command line.
