wiki:PdfImagePlugin

Display PDF or SVG images as PNG in wiki pages and tickets

Description

This plugin inserts vector graphics like PDFs or SVGs as PNG-images into a Trac wiki page or Trac ticket.

It requires convert from ImageMagick. However, convert may fail on specific files. Additionally, Ghostscript is required for convert on Windows, which is available here.

The handling and the parameters are inspired by LaTeX includegraphics and the Trac ImageMacro.

Examples:

[[PdfImg(Book.pdf, width=400, page=100, caption="Page 100 from Book Example")]]
[[PdfImg(source:testpro/drawing.svg@10,width=600,caption="SVG-image from repository in version 10")]]
[[PdfImg(ticket:1:file.pdf)]]
[[PdfImg(sketch.svg, cache=False)]] 
[[PdfImg(OtherPage:foo.pdf)]]
[[PdfImg(file:relpath/to/foo.pdf)]]

Note: PDF conversion with ImageMagick-convert:

  1. may fail on specific PDFs. This is not a problem of the plugin, but of convert. In this case you will get an error like Can't display foo.pdf, ImageMagick->convert failed with errorcode=... , command=convert ...
  2. if not restricted to certain pages, it can take very long; example: Converting a PDF file of 400 pages by simply [[PdfImg(test.pdf)]] took several minutes! See #9874, #9875.
