Hi,

I am a french geologist and I try to draw drilling description with Inkscape.

I import some geologic pattern coming from adobe illustrator.

There is no problem for that, but when I want to print or Upscaling in inkscape the pattern dissapear .

How can I solve this problem? please

What type of file is the pattern? Is it a raster image, or a vector? Could you post the Inkscape document with the pattern not yet disappeared?

Thanks for your response,

I want to post the inkscape document but how can I do?

I don't see the button to attach files

You need to use a public image/file hosting service. You can find a list in Where can I upload my images?

Thanks,

here is my file:

I can confirm the issue when I print to my PDF printer.

Strangely I can't find any proper mention of this issue. I thought such an issue would have been reported countless times (Google search brings up this post as number 1 ). I knew that patterns were lost when converting to PDF but not when printing. The problem may be one and the same in which case it applies to bug 166563 which was reported in 2005.

I can't think of any good workarounds for this, besides save it as a high resolution bitmap and printing that.

Thanks for your help.
