  1. # git-standalones
  3. Some standalone math equations to use in other documents.
  5. ## LibreOffice Writer
  7. Alas, when using LibreOffice Writer, inserting a pdf as an image results in a blurry image, and inserting it as an OLE object causes it to lose its font information.
  9. ### Convert to tif
  11. It is possible to use GhostScript to convert to a .tif image, which overcomes both of these limitations.
  13. To convert to 600dpi images:
  15. ````
  16. gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -r600x600 -sOutputFile=test.tif test.pdf
  17. ````
  19. To convert to 1200dpi images:
  21. ````
  22. gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -r1200x1200 -sOutputFile=test.tif test.pdf
  23. ````
  25. ### Convert to eps
  27. A better solution may be to convert the pdf to an .eps file, using `pdftops`. The syntax is:
  29. ````
  30. pdftops -eps input.pdf output.eps
  31. ````
  33. I am including both .tif and .eps images here (in the build folder) as I create them, ~~but will probably go to just creating .eps images shortly~~. **See next section**
  35. ### Convert to svg
  37. The best solution I have found so far is to convert the files to svg. Not all utilities are equally adept at this, as most lost the font information. But [pdf2svg](https://github.com/dawbarton/pdf2svg) seems to have none of those limitations. It can easily be install with `apt` and has a very simple command structure:
  39. ````
  40. pdf2svg input.pdf output.svg
  41. ````
  43. (See also [this note](https://cityinthesky.co.uk/opensource/pdf2svg/) as pdf2svg has not been updated (although it still does work as of today).
