Export as PDF #131

Open circular17 opened 4 years ago

circular17 commented 4 years ago

Hi Would it be possible to save in pdf format, or at least allow printing in a pdf file, as most applications do? It seems that neither can be done. Thanks

ummm interesting indeed, some days ago a friend of mine edited some images in lazpaint, then later he ask me to save in pdf to print. so yeah, a option to export in pdf could be nice.

By other side, if I'm not wrong, pdf have something related with vectors, right? So if vectors are made in LazPaint then save as vector in pdf too, better or maybe even better some option to choose "kind of export", shape as vector or shapes as raster? :P

Well are just considerations anyway.

Well I think it is simpler just to export as vector when possible. If one want raster, one can save as a raster format.

c-sanchez commented 4 years ago

hahaha yeah, you have reason

circular17 commented 2 years ago

For now export as SVG allows already some vector export. This could be converted to PDF afterwards by Inkscape.
