I am a total newcomer to krita and have minimal experience with similar tools. I mostly deal with text, not images.

I needed to superimpose some graphics on some pdf forms. I was able to import the pdfs and superimpose the graphics, but when I wanted to print the images, which were originally 8.5x11 at 100dpi, krita insisted they were at 72 dpi and would not let me change the resolution (the resolution field was grayed out. I had to rescale the images back to 8.5x11, which made the text from the pdfs fuzzy.

I looked and googled for krita docs but did not find any. ('Help' that points into the trilight zone is not very helpful.) Is there a way to deal with this resolution problem that I was not able to find by clicking around?

I am using backported krita 4.8 on Kubuntu 11.10.

Thanks

I'm really sorry, but currently Krita isn't all that well suited for your purpose. We know that our printing support is extremely limited. That is also unlikely to change soon because there are quite a few other things that are more core to Krita's purpose (painting from scratch) than printing that need to be done first.

Hey Grasso,

Probably the best programs suited to your purpose would be Scribus or Inkscape. Inkscape's a little easier to use, Scribus has more professional PDF and text handling.

Either way, you would just import the PDF, the image, place it and then Print / Export to PDF again.
