Gimp addon

I was wondering about a thing. Tried gimp on windows the other day. And found that gimp could load pdf documents. Is this also possible on the amiga version? Was a nice feature i'd like to be able to use.

Damn - you got me. I've forgotten to add this plug-in to the loader package

.
When I have some time I will create and upload a new package. I can send you a download link to the plug-in for testing if you like?

You could always just convert the pdf to a png or jpeg with ghostscript and import that.

I don't know if GS can convert text to an image.

PDFtoHTML (http://os4depot.net/index.php?functio ... ext/convert/pdftohtml.lha) will convert PDF to HTML, with all images, if you use the complex document option. It does use GhostScript to extract the images though.

I can help testing yes. But not right now as i don't have an amiga atm.

But when i do i will gladly help. Just send me a notice when you have fixed it. And you don't have to stress to fix it.

Of course it can, not sure how relavent that is to loading PDFs into gimp thpugh.


ghostscript:gs -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=<someoutput.png>  -dTextAlphaBits=4 -- GHOSTSCRIPT:Data/8.54/lib/gslp.ps <somr text file>

I thought the goal was to get the images out of a .pdf. In that case, Gimp isn't needed.

Not needed but a very handy tool incase you want to alter the image a bit.

The new loader package with the PDF loader is now online at OS4-depot. Now go and get your new Amiga
