Generating Vector Graphic Web Images

[GeoBen]

for text set in XARA:

select text

select ARRANGE/UNGROUP
then do it again.

you will have all the letters separate and editable as vector graphics.

to retain formatting and precision of content from one doc to XARA, export as PDF and import into Xara

OR

take a screen shot and trace in Xara, though POTRACE (available as a standalone or as part of InkScape) might do a better job.

as Sledger suggests, if you REALLY want to use vector, export as SVG (from InkScape... Xara does not support SVG, but you can export as EPS and import in to InkScape, a freebie).

GeoBen may be using an older version of Xara which was before SVG support was added.
If you have just downloaded the trial (version 3.2.3) you will see the file type .svg in the export dialogue.

SVG saved by Xara will include the Generator statement in the file as shown below.

<!-- Generator: Xara Xtreme (www.xara.com), SVG filter version: 0.4 -->

See zip file for a sample created in Xara 3.2.3 trial.
(I just noticed that in my haste I misspelled Xtreme in the svg file typing 'Extreme' by habit - oops)

Really! Great!

of course, i can't afford to get a new version, but I will before too much longer and that is reason enough to upgrade.

thanks,
geo.

GeoBen,

I think you missed out the Select Text / Arrange / Convert to editable shapes bit before the Arrange / Ungroup bit.

XXP can also import RTF files now like Word documents.
