I am trying to edit a PDF file. In Adobe Reader the text in the document appears fine



but when I open it in Inkscpae, it is complete gobbledegook.



How do I open such a file and preserve the text?

Thanks - Rowan

If you can share a sample of the file it could help.

Depending on how that original webpage was saved, the resulting pdf could be easier/harder to load in Inkscape.

You could try out different import methods - have you switched between internal and poppler in the import dialog?

I think there's also an option about fonts in the PDF Import dialog.

Thanks for your replies. I eventually found that if I used the Poppler import, then the text came through OK. I don't really understand why this is, but problem solved (at least for this specific case).

Thanks for your help.
