Combining pdf documents results in black background

Postby davidsaezsan » Wed Jan 28, 2015 10:42 pm

Hi everybody. I am not a pro user of this software, but it is very helpful for me in the development of my job. Nevertheless, I've been experiencing a very annoying problem trying to mix two pdf files. I open the first one, then import the second, adjust page size to include both

Here I show the combined pdfs, in Inkscape everything OK
Selección_063.png (131.44 KiB) Viewed 956 times
and when I save to pdf, the first image turns to a black background when I see it with Adobe Acrobat

THe result is this

.
Does anybody know why could this be happening?. Some months ago I was able to circumvent this problem, saving the file in a very complicated way, by I don't remember that algorithm anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Howdy,

PDF files can have a wide variety of clipping elements that behave unpredictably.

Please save your work as SVG and upload or link, so we can help find a solution.

Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
