Hi,

I just checked out the snapshot release of Inkscape 0.44, wich is just great, thank you very much! I really love the new pdf export with transparency support and the "crop to image size" button in the page properties.

But I also have a little question. Printing such pdf files with transparency isn't simple and transparency is removed. I think there should be two types of pdf export functionality. One of them is the one that's now included, the other one should be a mix between bitmap output and scalable pdf output. I mean: it should be great when you could let Inkscape "render" the image and count the resulting colors when the different semi-transparent layers are added to eachother. The result should be scalable but without transparency. This way, the image printed is the same as how you could see it at the screen.

This could also be related to bug 1492670. Acrobat prints files with transparency the right way, Evince doesn't. I think it should be good when it's possible to export to different pdf-versions, with and without transparency.

What do you think of this? After some positive feedback from Bryce, I submitted this one as feature request 1492661.

Kind regards,

Peter Dedecker
