Description

The PDF Printer plugin helps you convert PDF documents in your vault into WEBP images. It supports batch conversion of multi-page PDFs and replaces the original PDF embed with links to the generated images, streamlining visual integration into your workflow. Users can adjust image quality for a balance between clarity and storage size, and optionally define a folder to organise these output images. This is especially useful for researchers, students, or anyone who frequently works with visual references from PDFs and wants more control over how they appear within notes.

Features

Installation

Direct installation

PDF Printer was added to the official community plugins! Just search for "PDF Printer" in Obsidian's "Community Plugins" tab.

Manual install

  1. Copy the project files into your vault's .obsidian/plugins/pdf-printer/ folder
  2. Restart (or reload) Obsidian
  3. Enable PDF Printer in Settings > Community plugins

Usage

  1. Select a link to a ![[file.pdf]]
  2. Open the Command Palette and run PDF Printer: Convert PDF to images
  3. Images will be generated, saved in a seperate folder and the PDF link will be replaced with the WEBP image links for the pages

Configuration

  • Image quality can be set from 0 (lowest) to 1 (highest) in the settings. A lower value reduces image quality, but also decreases file size.
  • A folder for printed images can be set to better organize your vault.
  • A link to the printed PDF file can be shown above the printed pages.
  • The format for embedded images can be set to allow for custom image widths and integrations with more specific workflows.
