I can get the current images open using gimp.image_list() but how can I export them to a single pdf? The function pdb.file_pdf_multi_save() does not work. I do not intend to use ImageMagick, not sure if it still works either.

This is not properly answered in this question: Export multi page pdf with gimp

from gimpfu import *

# 1012982852

def antiquify(image, rndm_pct, rndm_rcount, randomize, seed, horizontal, vertical, low_threshold, high_threshold, spread_amount_x, spread_amount_y, filename):
    pdb.gimp_undo_push_group_start(image)
    for subimage in gimp.image_list():
        opacity = 80.0
        pdb.gimp_context_set_opacity(opacity)
        drawable=subimage.active_layer
        pdb.plug_in_randomize_pick(image,drawable,rndm_pct, rndm_rcount, randomize, seed)
        # pdb.plug_in_spread(subimage,drawable,spread_amount_x, spread_amount_y)
        # pdb.plug_in_spread(subimage,drawable,spread_amount_x, spread_amount_y)
        # pdb.plug_in_gauss_rle2(subimage,drawable,horizontal, vertical)
        opacity = 100.0
        pdb.gimp_context_set_opacity(opacity)
        pdb.gimp_threshold(drawable, low_threshold, high_threshold)
    images = gimp.image_list()
    # num_images, image_ids = pdb.gimp_image_list()
    pdb.file_pdf_save_multi(len(images), images, False, False, False, filename, filename)
    pdb.gimp_undo_push_group_end(image)

    Better asked on StackExchange, since this is a programming matter. And when you do so, remember that "doesn't work" is not helpful: show what you have coded so far, and the results (or error messages).

    @xenoid - StackOverflow for code questions. They'll need to see some code though.

  • @BillyKerr hence the "show what you have coded so far" in my comment :) And who answers questions tagged gimp and python over there is anybody's guess :)

  • @xenoid Maybe even the gimp-forum - for questions about scripting and plugins for gimp. It seems to be fairly active.

  • I intentionally left out the code because mine does more than just export to pdf and I wanted to see another approach.

  • @Community people can go to the link and check the answer for themselves. And there were back to back discussions which I cannot put here all at the same thread.
