reassigned *** Issue 45838 has been confirmed by votes. *** Under windows, you can insert PDF as OLE objects. Most of the times this works. At the moment I convert .pdf to .png & link the .png to a layer which I lock. How much better to avoid the conversion stage. I'm trying to make a 25.000 pages printout using a PDF letterhead (well, actually an invoice). If I use a TIFF or PNG file as background (in good quality) it's not vector any more; hence it'll take enormous space and I guess my computer will die. This feature would be so handy! Any thoughts yet? I've written my own little suite of tools in order to be able to do the giant pdf mail merge that I needed. So for my part I just skipped the whole OpenOffice out of the equation; and boy did it make a difference. Where OO.org used 5 hours to make a pdf with just names on it, the whole process takes 5 minutes in python :-) |
