Advanced PDF export plugin for Inkscape

This project's goal is to create a professional and extensive PDF exporting tool for Inkscape - an Open Source vector graphics editor.
With this plugin you will be able to save your projects - designed with Inkscape - in Press Quality, ready for delivering to printing houses. Below you will find the key features of our project and some screenshots of current development stage.

  Here are the main features of this plugin:

Extended PDF export options.

Exporting your projects in RGB or CMYK color space, using color profiles. 

Adding custom bleed area, as well as crop & bleed marks to your projects

Quality and compression settings. Possibility to export text as curves. 

 

Where will the money go?

The project is in early development stage. The money will allow us to hire professional programmers, so that they can work full-time preparing this new feature of Inkscape. The completed software is going to be free and open source (under GPL), available at our website.

Who are we?

We are professional graphic designers, working with Adobe's and Corel's software on daily basis in printing industry. We are also huge fans of open source applications, wishing to move from Windows to Linux one day. To do that we need a really professional software under Linux. We hope that this project will bring us a step closer to our goal.
