I am trying to export a PDF 1.4 in Inkscape 0.48. Some programs can open it but some other can, in particular Acrobat reader says
"Error : There was a problem reading this document (109)."
Is there a way to avoid this (I really do not care but my colleagues use Acrobat reader to see the PDF files I send them).
I tried producing EPS, but if there are too many lines some of them are missing. This is a known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/694553.
Thanks for your help

Re: PDF/EPS Save as
Would you kindly provide us with a bit of information, namely:
It would be of great help if you could detail for us the settings you choose when exporting to PDF.
Thank you.
- The version of Inkscape you're using.
- The steps you take to export your document to PDF
It would be of great help if you could detail for us the settings you choose when exporting to PDF.
Thank you.
Re: PDF/EPS Save as
Sure,
Thanks for answering
OS: Ubuntu 10.10
Inkscape 0.48 r9654
Adobe Reader 9.4.2 02/11/2011
Use the SVG that I am attaching.
Save a Copy...
ANY options you use for the PDF produces the same error. I am using
PDF 1.4.
Convert text to paths.
Rasterize filter effects at 200 dpi.
Export area is page.
Adobe will give an error when loading the file. Document Viewer 2.32.0 that uses poppler/cairo (0.14.3) reads the file without problems
Then Erase the feather path (the black path to the right of the plot)
Do the same as before
Adobe reads the file without problem
It may be a problem of Adobe, but the EPS behavior reported in the bug I mentioned earlier seems related, as well as the introduction of cairo for the exporting.

Code: Select all
<radialGradient … id="radialGradient992"><stop
style="stop-opacity:1;stop-color:#7f8084"
offset="0"
id="stop994" /><stop
style="stop-opacity:1;stop-color:#33343c"
offset="1"
id="stop996" />
</radialGradient>(fixed in cairo 1.10.2, e.g. in Ubuntu Natty).
See Bug #681512 in Inkscape: “Opaque radial gradients cause PDFs to fail to open in Adobe Reader”
Re: PDF/EPS Save as
Hats off to you, ~suv, you hit the nail on the head!
I believe we have our answer. An upgrade, KaKiLa, to Natty Narwhal, 11.04 should fix this minor bug.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for pinning this down.
However, forcing the user to upgrade the OS doesn't sound like a solution (I do not like Unity at all!!!)
What about an upgrade to cairo 1.10.2?
Is there a PPA I could add form Natty to Maverick or something like that?
Thanks again

No one forces you - just that Inkscape doesn't have a say what versions of an independent library are installed with the various linux distros (be it Ubuntu / cairo or others).
Maybe ask in a Ubuntu support forum how to get a newer cairo version?
