Export to PDF with the "Inkscape Multi Page"

Postby ThomasDob68 » Tue May 13, 2014 4:29 am

Hello everyone,
I am using the Inkscape Multi Pages support which works very fine and I just wanted to export all my work (including all the different pages of the file) in a single PDF file. So I go to Extensions>Pages>Export to PDF and I have a pop-up that appears. So far, so good!!!
I have downloaded the PDFtk requested to this application so that this should not be a problem. In the Tool to join box, I've written "C:\Program Files (x86)\PDFtk\bin" where my file is located. Then I have a first error message telling " 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external commandm operable program or batch file". Then I understand that there is something wrong with my location, I empty this box to see what happens and I have a similar error message while 'C:\Program' is replaced by 'pdfjoin'.

Could anyone tell me what I should do (basically, I guess, what I should write in this Tool to Join box) to help this application working correctly? Or tell me what I did wrong?
I thank you in advance
/Thomas D.

Hi

This is caused by the space in the file path to the program PDFtk.
For some reason MS has incorporated this as a 'standard' when everyone else
stay away from file names and paths containing spaces.

To rectify this you can try to install the PDFtk to a 'non-standard" directory.
Failing that you can change the Inkscape Multi Pages extension to 'hard-code' the path.

If more help is needed chime back.
