Any Inkscape pros know the best way to combine two pdfs using it? The page creation menus are clunky to me, and it's hard to keep the pages in order.

He has a Samson Meteor microphone. Same as mine. He is cool in my book :D
I have the same shityy little speakers too, good for the price point though
I'm not a pro but do some shit from time to time. Between Inkscape and Gimp I never needed anything else for images. If only Gimp had better tools for animated gifs... still serviceable tho haven't tried the new Gimp yet.
Nice. Anyone who takes money from Adobe is a hero to me.
Thank you, Mr. Owens. From the bottom of my heart. InkScape is my favourite graphics tool.
I've designed banners and flags in Inkscape, convention signage, even electoral campaign materials like business cards, handcards, campaign signs. A great tool
Is Mr Owens British perchance?
The only time I used Adobe Illustrator was when it was brand new, in 1987. I may have used early versions of Photoshop, but never as my "daily driver." So I might not be the most knowledgeable about Adobe software.
But the thing I MOST resent Adobe for was buying and killing Macromedia... I really really liked Macromedia Fireworks (raster, vector, and object graphics editor). Fireworks could do a lot of the things Adobe software could for a fraction of the price AND without having to use multiple applications to get the job done.
Inkscape is remarkable, and maybe someday someone will merge some raster image object tools into it, and then it might begin to resemble the Fireworks of 20 years ago when Adobe killed it.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Some wear bowler hats
Hadnβt heard of it. Will download later.
Looks like a great guy. I use inkscape when I need nice looking graphics at home for all sorts of things. I've never paid a lot of attention at the names on the about page. Meeting him like this on a photo is pretty cool!
Nice to meet you unilaterally Mr Martin. Thank you!
I urge you to watch his update videos, he's such a neat guy, and he rocks a ska/dandy style
Hitchhikers Guide on the bookshelf, nice.
He's a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.
I see Pratchett, Making Money up there, too. I like this guy.
Why is his Ubuntu book in Chinese?
Making Money, the best Moist Von Lipwig book. Even better.
Kudos to Mr. Owens and all Inkscape developers. Inkscape is a masterpiece.
those dollars were not adobe's to lose but users' to save
This is the heart of the matter. You can't lose what you never had.
I don't use Inkscape, but that is a good hat.
Inkscape is goated and so is Martin, respect π«‘
Inkscape user here. Thanks Martin!
