I think publisher is better for posters and things but thats my opinion

Shows the flexibility in use for an amazing piece of Open Source Software, as stated, without having to learn something new for at least basic PDF documents. Love it!

[@oliverdoherty]

I've used Inkscape to create PDF files (products sheets/datasheets etc.) and in your usual style you've pointed out a few functions I wasn't familiar and which will help with that process, thank you.

[@LogosByNick]

Glad to hear that!

[@Dr.PeterLaFleur]

No gonna lie, personaly this channel is one of the best three on my youtube list. I just start with inkscape yesterday, and i found this channel while i was searching for tutorials. Im so hyped cause your teaching is understandable even for a total beginner like me, and i hope your tutorials will help me start doing some really cool stuff. Keep making those great movies! Greetings

[@jacobopstad5483]

I've actually used Inkscape to create a couple of pages for teaching material that I was thinking about making. It definitely did the job. I also use GIMP on a regular basis to make documents. I've gotten so used to it that I can't see myself using other tools.

[@shreepads]

Which do you find easier to work with to create a poster or document, GIMP vs Inkscape? I thought GIMP would be better, particularly if you need to include photos, but would like hear your experience

[@alkaupadhyay7650]

@@shreepads Gimp is good but if you want flexibility in your art then inkscape is your choice. Btw did you know nick used ubuntu in past

[@jacobopstad5483]

@@shreepads Yeah, that's what I would say too. GIMP is great for manipulating images like photos so if you have specific images that you want to include then I might recommend GIMP but if you want to create new designs then I might suggest Inkscape. They're both great though.

[@themultilangualcoder8832]

I can't stop watching and especially hearing the intro ! Fabulous!!!

[@antiblabla1208]

i dont think i would have made it to start with inkscape if there had not been your tutorials. really very easy to understand, well made, thank you!

[@gmanscot1982]

WHAT A GUY!!!!!!!!! Was sick of being a slave to Adobe, went feral last year and tried to use freeware, your tutorials are awesome!!!!

[@WhiteDjayanegara]

I believe here is the best channel to learn Inkscape. Also, this tutorial feels so under-rated. Thank you very much, Nick ... for this wonderful tutorial.

[@pavanbhargav235]

I learn alot from you brother... 😍😍, Thanks... Everytime I see ad in your videos I'll not skip... The only channel where I don't skip 😁

[@ScottPierceHome]

Thanks for another great tutorial. Another pro for using Inkscape and SVG files is mail merge operations. By having plain-text XML files, it allows folks to replace names, addresses, and other details for mail-merge type operations. We can layout once in Inkscape, and run a script over a data set to fill in the blanks.

[@geoffphil]

Because Inkscape is so powerful, I use it for virtually all my documents. I use a batch file or Reaconverter to convert multiple files to pdfs, then I use Nitro pro to join the pdfs to form a multi page pdf file. I look forward to Inkscape adding multi pdf page export!

[@yugarthsharma626]

It's Been Added Now :D

[@BerkaySoyluoglu]

I like how you put timestamps in your videos. Great video as always. 🤎

[@natoutete]

Great content, as usual! To snap a text box corners, or any "box corners", you can turn on "Snapping to bounding box" + "Bounding box corners" and that should do the trick. It can be an inconvenience at times, so toggle as needed.

[@amanuelelhanan4716]

omg I just loved the capability of Inkscape wow, and Nick ohh you have walked as through Inkscape functionalities. Thank you!

[@peterbreis5407]

"Granted, Inkscape probably isn't the best tool for this sort of thing" Now THERE'S an understatement!

[@bgrainger3477]

Thank you so much! 👏👍 I was looking for this exact information, including how to make a margin around the page. I'm also making multi-page projects and this information is exactly what I needed. I know the newest Inkscape version allows you to make multi-page projects, but I haven't downloaded it yet. Thank you so very much for this video!!

Lord Nick, you are awesome in all your great videos. I started to using Inkscape thanks to you. You combine all the in the same place, graphic design, trics, tips and much more with a lot of profesionalism and good attitude. I really appreciate, if is possible, to learn how to align double sided business cards for printing with inkscape, please... Congratulations again and Happy New Year!!

not sure if you've come by this already -- if using macOS, automator is native & will merge PDFs. Cool stuff! Publisher is great by Affinity.

[@furaosentu]

We made our save-the-dates and the wedding invitations in inkscape. I mean, how else would you do it?! I guess I could've done them in LaTeX, but I didn't want to teach LaTeX to my partner.

Merging pdf is easy with Nitro pdf. It allows you to choose multiple pdf and click combine and you get to arrange pages as needed.

Dear Nick, thanks a lot for all the useful techniques, tips and tricks on Inkscape you have posted over the years! If I could ask for a christmas wish, it would be to learn using Inkscape for technical illustrations (like adding parts or annotations in 3D-CAD drawings). Again, thanks for your great videos and merry christmas from Austria!

[@Pyta321]

Great tutorial, I hope Inkscape will someday allow for multi-page pdfs because it's a great tool. + Just wanted to share some of my experience. In my work, I found out that sometimes Inkscape is incapable of saving filters like a drop shadow to pdf. One solution I found was to export all non-text elements as a png file with high dpi, load it into Inkscape, add text on top, and then save it as pdf.

[@LogosByNick]

When you save the PDF there's an option in the save menu to rasterize filter effects. That should fix the problem too.

[@Pyta321]

@@LogosByNick sounds stupid but when i tried this option people with Mac OS complained that some graphics were flipped upside down

[@francootaola9172]

Nick, when I use Inkscape, the submenus have another behavior than yours, for example. If I open aling and distribution and then stroke and fill, the first. Menú (align and distribution in this case) it minimize and eeeach time I need to go to lower part to re open and then the stroke menu minize etc etc. I can not have the different menus open at the same time, this is a preference to change? Thanks. This holy days I should be re taking your courses 😀
