Re: [Gimp-user] exporting text to pdf

[Tobias Jakobs <tobias jakobs gmail com>]

Hello Oliver,

I haven't seen this bug on my System. But I have two workarounds for you:
    1. Flatter all layers and then export to pdf.
    2. Use Scribus for adding the text. Scribus has an very good PDF export.

Regards
Tobias
