To be clear, don't open the PDF in GIMP, as this will re-sample the image. > all the while weeping over the poor > quality of the thing, unless it's a very high resolution PDF. No? A lot depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. Sometimes i've used the Inkscape front end to “potrace” to make an SVG vector version of something, for example. And there've been times when i’ve bought a physical printed copy of a book so i can scan the images at 2400dpi.
