Save to PNG, JPEG and PDF

Postby cah1234 » Tue Jan 10, 2017 6:58 am

Hi All,

I have some posters i have created in Inkscape. I will need to save and email these as PNG, JPEG and PDF formats in sizes of 8x10, 11x14 or 16x20 inches in 300dpi. When i save as PDF it either cuts off some of the image or leaves a white border around the edge and the same as PNG. How do i save so that when printed it fills the whole page exactly?

Thank You.

PDF export uses the page area that is defined in the document. So you need to resize that area before you export, via Edit -> Document properties. You may also need to move the contents, so it fits on the page again.
