Can it export to PDF 1.7?
I am using my PDF's for web concent and anything less than PDF 1.7 is not usable for the web as it cannot be "streamed" (loaded in chunks). Do you plan to add this feature via Ghostscript? Speaking of Ghostscript do you plan to at least let us add custom Ghostscript code to customize the optimization? Thanks
Hi @tiotrom,
The Krop software was actually written by @arminstraub I packaged it into a snap app...
maybe he can give you more insights into this matter
Hi @tiotrom!
krop is not using Ghostscript for cropping. It only allows a final (potential) optimization which is really just running:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=new.pdf -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH old.pdf
If you have custom Ghostscript code, the easiest would be to run it afterwards on the pdf created by krop.
That being said, if there is very common and useful features of Ghostscript, it might make sense to expose them in the krop UI. Besides exporting to PDF 1.7, does anything in particular come to mind?
