Inkscape is great! Its PDF+Latex exporting functionality makes it perfect for diagrams in papers, exams, and whatnot. The editing tools are also very nice.
It also edits PDFs, which I found pretty cool! I use it to make airline tickets not take up a full sheet of paper. To be honest, if you export the PDF back out, it jumbles some of the fonts a little, but that's mostly OK.
- anilgulecha 10y agoWhen you export fonts, convert them to vector (it's a checkbox in the export). That way you never have to worry about font rendering.
- 2ion 10y agoNot to mention using Inkscape for filling in broken PDF forms…it's a major part of my workflow whenever I have to deal with such PDF files.
- probably_wrong 10y agoIt's even better when you combine it with the command line tools. You can design a template on the GUI, and then customize it and export it via a script.
- mixmastamyk 10y agoWhich command-line tools?
- rhaps0dy 10y agotype "inkscape --help" on your command line. It exports things to formats, and you can query information from files.
