Description Roman Prots' 2011-01-11 03:56:02 UTC 
Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

Add ability to export selected images as PDF document to view images as presentation in pdf viewer.
PDF output should be similar to how Slideshow shows the output.
Should be able to specify background color to fill in empty areas.

Print Assistant rotates images to fit them onto paper, it's not the ideal solution.

Reproducible: Didn't try

If something must be done, it's in kipi-plugins. I set this file to PrintAssistant to see comment from Angelo.

Printing interface is the best to convert in PDF a sets of images at the same time. It must be improved/adapted of course.

hmm print assistant end print images can print to PDF printer, and you can avoid auto rotation and that they fit on page.

Of course they are not too flexible, since they print following fixed layouts or using
an algorithm to get more pictures into a page.

In my long todo list i added some improvements of course (like background 
color and other things asked from some photograpers), but list is very long and 
spare time very short...

To get one image per page you can
a) using printimages press options and setup images to get more options
b) using print assistant and following wizard to get one photo per A4/Letters  
   layout
selecting PDF printer.
Cheers,
   Angelo

Roman,

This file still valid using kipi-plugins 2.4 ?
