I am using Win2000 and Inkscape build 070922.
Recently on the user list, it was noted that patterns do not get saved into Cairo pdfs. I am confirming this and can add a bit more information. After testing the above I opened the svg file in Scribus and it said that there were unsupported features. Then it went on to open the file and the patterns were not there either.
I also used the pdf printer driver PrimoPDF with Inkscapeand found that the patterns were saved in this case. However, there was rastering with the printer driver.
I have not been able to find a vector pdf generator that I can test with.
Has anyone else played with patterns and pdf in Inkscape? I would love this problem to be simply an Inkscape switch which is wrongly set.
I know that Stamping" the pattern can be used as a workaround but of course that is not a pattern.
Any insight will be valuable.
