Is anyone on this feature request? Lots of people would like to see this implemented http://ask.libreoffice.org/question/3669/pdf-import-as-picture/ No one caring about this? I second this. Adobe Illustrator is widely used and an .ai import as vector graphic would be good. Here is some information on the file format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Illustrator_Artwork. Old .ai files are based on EPS, which is supported by LibreOffice. New .ai files are based on PDF. Importing PDF files as pictures (or vector graphic?) is a great idea, since it is a typical use case that people need to get images or graphics from a PDF to a presentation or document. Inkscape seems to have two reasonable Adobe Illustrator import filters: "Adobe Illustrator 9.0 and newer (*.ai)" "Adobe Illustrator 8.0 and older (*.ai)" Inkscape is GPL-licensed, so maybe some parts of the filters can be re-used for LibreOffice. Could they? |
