[Gimp-user] Exporting PDFs

[ErickG <forums gimpusers com>]

Thank you guys, this really has helped. I did not realize Gimps coding for PDFs
has stayed the same through the different versions. I been scanning big layout
plans in the plotter and the machine is saving them in a PDF format. Once I
noticed the lower quality  I tested it on this simple line drawing and that's
when I noticed how much Gimp was lowering the quality, but I also didn't notice
the import settings and here I am thinking it was an export feature problem.
Thank you again!
