Once =E2=80=98filled=E2= =80=99, I just take a screenshot! Then use Imagemagick to convert it. Interesting. May you expand a bit on how exactly you do it? In particular, how does Org mode enter the picture? I imagine that you need to align the text layout in the Org file to fit the underlying PDF, but I am not sure if Org is the most suitable program to achieve such alignment. Something like M-x artist-mode might probably be more flexible. --=20 Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at .
