Ways to custamize PDF Export, grouping etc...
Feb 15th, 2009, 11:26pm  
Im pretty sure its not possible, but i thought maybe somebody has a good workarround or hack.

Im working on a print project with alot of objects which cosists of alot of different lines, These lines mostly overlap. The problem is that i need to edit them in Illustrator afterwards. But its nearly impossible cause i can hardly select one object alone.

Is there a way to group them somehow?
Sometimes i do things like that by giving them slightly different colors for easy selection by color but thats not possible this time as i lerp different colors in one object....

Any Idea?

hi,

it is possible but you need to modify the PGraphicsPDF class like toxi does here:

next have a look at these examples:

hope this is of some help

Thank you for that information... But i guess im not experienced enough to modify that. Anyway, good to know that it would work somehow... Maybe that is a good feature for a future release...
