![]() The setup is quite easy and LibreOffice Draw even allows you to edit and annotate PDF files before exporting. Each page in your PDF file has now been exported as a separate image. Change the options as per your needs and click on “Export” button. You will see a new window popup that will allow you to customize export options. Open a PDF file in LibreOffice Draw and then click on “Export as images…” menu entry to start the conversion process. Go to “Tools” > “Extension Manager…”, as shown in the screenshot below.Ĭlick on “Add” button to add the “oxt” extension file to LibreOffice Draw.Īfter successfully adding the “oxt” file, a new entry will appear in the list of extensions.Ī new entry “Export as images…” will be added to the “File” dropdown menu. Once you have downloaded “oxt” file from the link above, add it to extension manager. This extension adds a new “Export as Images…” entry to “File” dropdown menu and it supports exporting multiple PDF pages. To fix this, you will need to install “Export as images” extension from here. By default it supports exporting PDF file to various image formats, however it only converts the first page of the PDF file. LibreOffice Draw, as the name suggests, allows you to create drawings, sketches, graphics, annotations and so on. Using the “LibreOffice Draw” app, you will be able to convert a PDF file into a set of images. Where as purchasing a more robust SW program could offset that personnel deficit to your budget, while adding technical capabilities ‘on-the-fly’ with very little learning curve.Most Linux distributions ship LibreOffice office suite by default. You would have to hire many ‘skilled’ illustrators, which equates to higher wages to pay for the expertise capabilities. Yet I wouldn’t recommend that option for major production output. As an ‘one-man band’ operation running a home-based business in technical writing/publishing, it suits me (I don’t mind the labor-intensive operations). I have used Adobe Illustrator, though tedious, suited my need at the time. Currently I am into solar design for installation and in determining the parameters for utility-scale power purchase agreements, I have a slew of calculations that can be applicable for whatever the design need is to illustrate power generation/distribution numerically for economic and O&M purposes. Other Libraries in electronics, engineering or chemistry, may have the focus on formulas, symbols, and numeric expertise. In construction, these libraries would include documentation components to facilitate permitting or inventory while designing. Though this was a page layout program, I was performing vector-based font manipulation like stretching or convexing text as graphical objects (as in illustrator). The power is in short-cut keys (ASCII-based) rather than the more popular option due to ease of use, graphical menu options that take up more process time and computing space. Quark Xpress offer such services, where you can have permission to alter their programming properties to better suit your production goals through your own programmer. Corel Draw is other great SW that has extensive technical documentation library selections for additional certified abilities (Aerospace, Transportation, Marine, Space Planning).Īnother option has been a situation of buying licensing rights to modify a commercial package to specifically match your technical needs. Some notable applications today such as AutoCAD offer great add-on libraries that one can specifically tailor to meet their notation needs (i.e., 3D, Electrical, Construction, Engineering, Mathematics, Astrology, Chemistry, etc.).
