Summary0000267: pdf exporting of high res pictures
DescriptionWould it be an idea to prefer the original format when embedding raster images into pdf. Some while ago I tried to create a pdf document containing 300dpi fullpage scans in jpeg format (each about 300k). In creating the pdf of 17 pages scribus became unresponsive for an unacceptable amount of time (5 to 10 minutes) and the image file in the end became 40 MB big.

There is no way that the unpacking (which must obviously have hapened) contributed to the quality as the original files were allready lossy compressed. As pdf supports jpeg compression natively, why not embed the contents of the jpeg file resulting is a much more handleable file and faster conversion.
TagsNo tags attached.

This is currently being worked on with successful results. Expect changes in CVS soon. You will find now in 1.1.5 that the progress bar at the bottom of the screen is updated when pages are being exported (ie updated per page).
