Hello Carlos I guess there are many ways to do the saving of images in gimp from a pdf, This is the way I do mine when you load the pdf in gimp 1-use the 'Resolution' tumbler up arrow (RS) to increase the size of images, I go for a height of 5000 px using (RS) that gives a good size image and spare size to crop if needed, 2-now you image size is worked out - click open pages as 'images ' if you want to use each one separately if you chose layers all the pages will be in one image as layers 3-select only the pages you want to use or select all and 'import' 4-the image files will show up as tabs and do what you want then 5-then lastly use 'export as' NOT 'overwrite pdf', when exporting I choose png format holds more info at higher Mb'sinc alpha channel instead of jpeg unless you want smaller file size Is this what you needed I did the step by step only to explain the way works for me, Good luck Hope this helps -- fa-flyingalone (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
