Problem with PDF export using command line on Windows 7

Postby gordonbombay » Wed May 09, 2012 1:07 am

Hi all,

I've been trying to export a SVG file to a PDF using the command line on windows 7, but I keep getting an error. For example, when typing:

Code: Select all

inkscape -f test.svg -A test.pdf


I get the following output:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\share\extensions
RegistryTool: Could not set the value 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\inkscape.exe'


I read that I should use complete paths, and when doing so I get the following output:

Code: Select all

RegistryTool: Could not set the value 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\inkscape.exe'


So, it seems that something changed but I can't run it correctly yet. I checked that I could open an svg file when typing just

Code: Select all

inkscape -f test.svg


So I'm a bit lost with this issue. Has anyone dealt with a similar problem?

Thanks in advance,

Eder.

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem with Inkscape Version 0.48.2 r9819 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
Running the dos shell with administrator rights and than calling inkscape worked!

What I still do not know is, how I can force Latex to run the commandline with administrator rights
Does anyone have an Idea?

Regards

This is a known bug that is fixed in Inkscape 0.48.5. Update to the newest version of Inkscape and you should be good to go.
