Despite the current obsession with this format it is pretty clunky and inflexible. I don't see much point for a single image. PDF would just be a simple wrapper and this would best be done by and pdf editor that fully supports all the pdf features. It's unlikely gimp would want to maintain full functionality just to do this export. The other question is licensing of pdf. IRCC pdf viewing is allowed in a fairly liberal sense but creating pdf is what Abode make money on and retains the rights to. I could be wrong but that was my recollection. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
