Common values are 96 dpi for screen display, and 300 or 600 dpi for printing. Resolution for rasterization (dpi): The higher the value, the more fine-grained the ‘photos’ of filtered objects will be. If you do not select this option, objects that are filtered will look different in the PDF. That way, the drawing will still look the same in a PDF. This option tells Inkscape to make a ‘photo’ of any objects/areas in the drawing that have a filter. Rasterize filter effects: Blurs, shadows and any other filters cannot be used in PDF. If you’re writing on a thesis or another scientific document, and know how to work with LaTeX, you can make use of the third option Omit text in PDF and create LaTeX file. When the text is mostly decorative (as in a logo), it’s better to convert the text to paths. Text output options: If your text needs to be searchable in the PDF and the font license allows you to embed the font, choose to Embed fonts. If no specific version is required by the persons who will get the PDF file from you, you can leave it at the default 1.5. Restrict to PDF version: Current choices are 1.4 or 1.5. PDF file format supports a different set of features from the SVG file formatĪ dialog will then allow you to set the following options: Also, is there any way I can export graphics directly to dxf (or at least svg) using only Igor? It would be great to remove as many intermediary programs as possible from the protocol.Never save as PDF only, but always keep an SVG file, because the But, if I export a graphic from Igor to pdf, then, using Inkscape, convert to svg and again convert to dxf, the resulting dxf cannot be displayed.Īny thoughts on why this is occurring? Could it be that I have a fundamental misunderstanding regarding the nature of pdf and svg graphics? The graphics I am exporting to pdf from Igor are either in ibw or jpg format before exporting occurs. If I download an arbitrary svg file from, say, Wikipedia, import that svg into Inkscape and then export the svg as a dxf, the resulting dxf can be opened without a problem in a CAD program.

However, it seems all data is lost during this process because only a blank document appears when opening the resulting dxf in autocad and solidworks. At the moment, I am exporting any graphics from Igor as a pdf, then importing that pdf into the open-source program Inkscape and exporting it as a dxf.
