Hello,

I am having a problem where EPS files created in Inkscape are not able to opened in any other software.ie Acrobat Reader. It gives an error message that the files are corrupt. Anybody know why that could be happening?

Here is a link to relevant files if anybody else would like to try to solve the issue: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6trmla93vz46wmd/AAC0158xABbsftlvQAC_Xf_5a?dl=0

The PNG should be what the expected result is. The PDF is what is happening. And the SVG is the original file.

Hi Moini,

That sounds great. I will send you a PM with the link to the files. Thanks!

Hello,

I am trying to export a PDF for print of a brochure I designed in Inkscape. The problem is I have it all looking just the way I want but when I export to PDF some of the objects lose their opacity transparency. Is it possible to export to PDF while retaining this transparency?

-PippyPie

OK. That work around was exactly what I was looking for though. Thank you!!

Hello, I have a color vector file that I converted to greyscale using the greyscale filter. I need to export it as a vector file but unless I rasterize the effects on export it shows up as the original full color. If I rasterize I lose the vector. How can I retain the vector while keeping the greysc...
