Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 428110
Please enable PDF export
Last modified: 2008-01-09 06:19:39 EST
Description of problem: According to the Grace website, it should be possible to "print" (i.e., export) to a PDF file. However, that's not one of the options in the Fedora package -- has it been disabled? If so, can it be enabled? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grace-5.1.21-4.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a graph 2. Try to export to PDF Actual results: Can't do it; use export to ps and ps2pdf instead Expected results: Should have PDF as an output format
The support for pdf requires the use of a library that is not free/open software and thus is not included in Fedora. Thus we can not link with it and no pdf is available. :-( This issue was considered when the package was reviewed for inclusion in Fedora. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166414 Since the same conditions still hold I am sorry that the verdict is still the same. :-(
Well, darn. Oh well, I've got a perfectly good workaround using ps2pdf so I guess that'll do. Thanks for the prompt response! :)
