Place Posters (or pictures) in real size?

I'm currently planning an exhibition. One requirement to make the job easier would be to be able to add a (digitized) picture as a PDF (or JPEG) to a wall in its's size as indicated within the file (either as PDF page dimensions or in the size resulting in pixel multiplied by dpi / ppi).

Is there a build-in way to archive this?

If not can someone propose a way or give some hints about the feasibility on wring some Groovy script to use parts of the application to generate a obj file (or even a SH3F file) containing the right dimensions and the image as texture?

Re: Place Posters (or pictures) in real size?

If you want to apply a picture to a wall, you can use JPG or PNG. When importing the picture set the height of your texture to the same height as the wall height. This way you won't have a vertical repeat of the image.

If you want to apply a picture to a picture frame (e.g. painting or TV), you should prepare the picture as follows:
- Make the relative dimensions of the image the same as those of the destination object. Example: if your TV screen is 16:9, your image should also be 16:9
- When importing, set height or width to the same value as the destination object to prevent repeating texture.

Thanks, but that seems to be much more overhead, since the necessary Informations are already part of the Image (or PDF) itself...

I would argue that this is at leas a missing feature...

I've created a Python script which solves the problem:

Well, thanks for the hint.

But I want to be able to just import for example a A0 sized poster as a PDF in the right dimensions (just setting hight above the ground). Not more, not less.

The script helps with that by using Blender to create a OBJ file from a given JPEG or PDF with the right dimensions.

This is a real advantage if you want to hang several dozend images or are doing walls completely in Inkscape.
