I've created an initial version of a PDF import plugin for GIMP that uses poppler. Currently this version has little to offer compared to the existing ghostscript-based PDF import plugin, but I feel like a poppler-based plug-in has much more potential in the long run.
While this version uses poppler to render whole pages, it would be nice if it were possible to access individual elements, such as boxes of text or images, and have each rendered into a separate GIMP layer. Currently, there isn't enough exposed to the glib bindings to make this possible. This initial version is downloadable at http://rockwalrus.dyndns.org/~rockwlrs/gimp-poppler , and should be buildable with the appropriate libgimp devel package. I would very much appreciate it if some poppler developers took a look at what is there already and let their imaginations run wild. :) Rockwalrus _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
