Hi,
I'm sending these PDF, SVG and PNG files to report a strange behaviour with the PDF import in Inkscape.
The following applies to Inkscape0707150130 on Windows XP SP2
The attached file: It is a PDF-X1a 2003 (full cmyk, PDF1.4 compatible) it is the PDF specification that is the most simple and standard for offset printing. No layers, no spot colors, etc... This PDF has been produced by Illustrator CS2.
The problems: - The PNG export: the PNG exported from the attached PDF is horizontally mirrored and cutted (see attached PNGs). G9.png was exported with "export selected objects" right after the importing of the PDF. G10.png was exported with "export selected objects" after I moved the logo to the center of the A4 page. LOGOdusicacouture.svg is the SVG saved by Inkscape right after opening the PDF. Looks like there is a mirroring that occurs when saving/exporting from this file, even if the PDF itself shows properly in Inkscape (see attached screenshot screenshotPDFopen.png)
- color: When importing this PDF, the color is wrong. The original color (which renders the same in Illustrator, Corel Draw, Photoshop (when rasterized), Indesign) is C44 M58 Y86 K35. Inkscape shows C00 M27 Y61 K60 (alpha 100%).
Also, I'd like to help testing more toroughly the PDF import feature. I have tons of PDFs created by a bunch of different programs and I can even create required PDFs (PDF-X3, PDF-X1a:2003 and others) from different applications. So please contact me if you need some specific PDFs for testing.
