I have a pdf of over 400 pages. I am using the following script to convert the pdf into another pdf with fonts looking old.
https://ideone.com/8uerbj
Now, for pdf of <200 pages, the script worked properly. But for this one, it's only producing only around 60 pages. Any idea what might cause that?

Already tried importing pdf in a lower resolution so RAM doesn't act up. Didn't help

I tried to use ofn-text-path-selection today at work today and it did nothing. After testing it on multiple paths I noticed it would work on some simple single letter paths, partially work on some paths that did not overlap, and did nothing on the path I have that overlaps in many places.

My work machine is a Windows computer and I just updated it recently. I've never had a single problem using this plugin on my Linux machine at home, but not sure if I've ever actually used this script before here at work. I will try this same file at home tonight to see if there is a difference.

I've created and attached an xcf with the path I'm having an issue with.

Thanks!

Hello there,

I want to create an image that will be printed in a 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. My printer (an entry level color laser printer), can print at 600 DPI. I want to print the entire image to occupy the whole paper looking sharp and crisp (as far as my printer allows it). If I set the size of the image to 8.5" x 11" with 600 DPI, the result is a huge image that is difficult to manipulate since I'm going to be using lot of warp tool and filters.

So how should I proceed?

Should I forget about the DPI setting until I finish creating the image?

Again the image I'm creating is not to be seen on a screen but to be printed.

I've been at this for a while now, and even with Google searches etc., I simply cannot move a selection.

I thought I had done this dozens of times before, so I'm kind of sitting here wondering - why can I suddenly not move a selection?

I already know about the "Move Layer" vs. "Move Selection" mode aspect - and I have it in "Move Selection" mode.
And it does allow me to move the selection - but not really.  It only moves the outline and never lets me move the content.  It also never creates any Floating temp layer either.

This CANNOT be this hard.  Moving stuff around is fundamental to image processing - so I MUST be missing something obvious.
Can the user really not simply select something and move it?

I have seen advice for copying and/or cutting and pasting to a new layer - but I don't want a new layer - I want to move my selection within the layer I'm working on.  What if a layer had 2-dozen items and you wanted to shift them around.  This approach would require 2-dozen layers?  That makes no sense.

I'm stumped.

thanks for any help!

Ok. i have been using gimp for years but I'm about to give up.  Ever since I switched to using 8.5 in by 8.5 in (or 8.5 by 11 in) canvas size it keeps on randomly crashing.  I'm not running out of memory at all unless it's doing some weird thing I can't view with memory management.  It says i'm using a steady 20% even when it crashes.  Once it crashes it just keeps on crashing faster and faster every time I restart it until I reboot the computer.  The problem is I actually need to print these images at some point so I can't just make them smaller and I don't want to take the resolution hit by resizing them right before I print them.

I want to apply a set of operations on all open images. Then I want to export the modified open images to a pdf.

Use some random parameters.

Hi,

Is it please possible to transform the first attached layer to the second (or something very similar) ?

Only the basis color changes (and it is only 1 color), but it is an attenuation on the left part of the layer.

Thanks

When I open "Image Properties" the display shows the size in pixels and the resolution in pixels/inch (PPI)
But tells me the "Print Size" in mm !?
Is there a way to tell GIMP to show the size in inches?

The documentation says: 
"Print size
    Shows the size the image will have when it is printed, in the current units."

But I can't find documentation for how to set the "current units"

I have a photo of a barn. It is taken at an angle to the front wall instead of looking straight on at the wall. In other words, you can not measure (with the measure tool) the wall length. How can I adjust image to allow true measurement?
I included the image.
