Hi Marvin.
For manuscripts, my research group and I typically save images
in pdf format, much better resolution. It would be nice to view
pdf images when working in org-mode.
Does anybody know how to view pdf images in org-mode.
Excuse my question but there is something I don't understand
here... I'd like to be sure we are not scratching where it doesn't
itch.
PDF files don't show images at a better resolution, they just
"encapsulate" and show them. So, if you have a 2000x2000 px jpg,
putting it inside a pdf will not add resolution (nor lower it, if
it's not compressed), but just add a wrapper around it. The
resolution is a property of the image file.
OTOH, different image formats do change the quality: jpg and
(some) png are lossy formats while tiff is looseless.
So what kind of images are you talking about? Are they produced by
you and your team (and using what tools/methods), scanned from
physical artifacts, or taken from other sources?
Maybe there is no need to do all this pdf magic.
PS We also work with svg images too, that would also love to
view in org-mode
Again, this is quite similar. You can produce pdf from svg: both
are vector images and are resolution independent. But emacs con
show svg files directly (see
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsSvg).
Best...
