I learned that I can just add a picture in a PDF with libreoffice draw, which is a thing that cannot be done with pdf.js yet.
- oniony 3y agoThere's an add image option in pdf.js when I use the (modern browser) demo. Edit: added an image, saved the PDF and it does indeed include the image I added.
- ryukoposting 3y agoDraw is a super underappreciated piece of software imo. It's not quite Publisher, not quite Inkskape, but something in between. I'm not sure what people use it for, but I used it in college to make diagrams for all sorts of projects. LibreOffice's equation input is great, too.
- FinnKuhn 3y agoMy preferred Open-Source-Software for diagrams is draw.io (https://app.diagrams.net/ https://app.diagrams.net/). Works great, locally and online and runs on pretty much any system while offering everything I need and allowing a crazy amount of customisation.
- HKH2 3y agoThat's good to know. I like Inkscape but its page handling still needs a bit more work.
- ryukoposting 3y agoI'd describe Draw's page handling as "intuitive," if not "sophisticated." You won't get Inkscape's most powerful features, but MS Office-like "stupid simplicity" is the result.
- douglasmoore 3y agoNo kidding. I wish I knew that a week ago.
- davidgerard 3y agoLibreOffice Draw is an excellent and very useful PDF editor. Just make very sure you have all the same fonts!
- arthur2e5 3y agoLibreOffice has pretty cool support for working with PDFs in general. (Tangential) There's a "hybrid PDF" export option in LibreOffice that lets you embed ODF metadata into the PDF file. When you open the exported file in LibreOffice again you get everything back -- dynamic fields, header/footers, custom style sets, etc.
