What is the current state of getting pdfs from Inkscape using Win2k? As far as I can see on a quick read, the best way for Linux users to go is with Scribus but that looks like a hairy way for Win users and not worth the effort at this stage. I have used some of the pdf print drivers and the results are woeful. Win2pdf is aweful, JAWS PDF is aweful. Have any win users been successful in this area? I've even pulled files out of Inkscape and put them into CorelDraw and output CDpdfs but again results are lousy. In fact even getting them into CorelDraw is a hassle. Any suggestions?
Our PS output is very limited (no gradients/transparency) but what it does, it does correctly. So for simple documents it's quite suitable. And for converting to PDF, I use ps2pdf which usually gives good results. It's part of Ghostscript and is available on Windows too.
