[feature] Known gaps: support for PDF import.

[modulovalue]

Hi @maxliebscher,

You're probably aware of this too, but PDF support is also missing.

For my use cases this would be critical, but I can understand if you don't plan to work on this as you might not need it.

Do you plan to ever work on supporting embedded PDFs?

To scope a PDF export option, could you elaborate on what features you would expect? What is definitely possible is to embed the flattened image into a PDF container (based on what the viewer is capable of depicting).
A far more elaborate approach would be the export of vector paths to PDF. The Concept App has a PDF export option which itself has limited capabilities and, based on their documentation, needs to simplify or even does not support more exotic brush/stroke types, but I have yet to test this.

Oh I was very ambiguous in my description, my apologies. I was thinking of supporting showing embedded PDFs, not export a concepts board as a PDF.

In other words, I was talking about PDF imports, not PDF exports.

Got it — I didn’t realize Concepts files could actually contain embedded PDFs. That should be feasible with a lightweight PDF.js integration once I confirm how those PDF assets are stored internally. I’ll look into it when I find some time 😄
