Summary0009799: [PATCH] autocroping images during PDF export
DescriptionHere is patch for automatically crop JPG (and only JPG) images if they are manually scaled.
Patch is small but working well for me.

Maybe there should an option in PDF Export dialogue for switching this feature on/off - I am not good enough in GUI and Preferences tasks in Scribus.
Maybe my patch inspires somebody who improve it with GUI/Preferences and for other kind of files...

Assigning to Jean to review. I think I would prefer a ScImage::cropped(x,y,w,h) function than extra code in the PDF lib, so it can then be applied to all image types and the code can then be specific to image types as required.

Jean can you please test?

double xs = sx * c->pixm.imgInfo.xres/72;
double w = (c->width()/72) * c->pixm.imgInfo.xres / xs;

is the same as

w = c->width()/sx;

(where sx is c->imageXScale())

That would be great and contribute to have slightly lighter PDFs.

Does this work with images that have a rotation inside the frame?

How can I test this? It's over five years old...

This is still useful, isn't it?

I think it is. For two reasons:
1. It will result in smaller PDFs when small crops of large source images are used. In some cases you may then email documents which were too large before.
2. There are privacy implications if the document publisher crops out a person - let's say a child - from an image, but the receiver of the PDF can simply extract the full image from the document sources.
