Hello All,
as the problem is still there I would propose following intermediate solution:
currently in the codebasis there is also an pdf import via poppler-cairo. This one is disabled. I would like to enable this as an additional pdf import possibility. We have to decide later when it comes to the release which one to integrate into the release.
so we can test in parallel the two options. we have a big tester basis (compared to separate launchpad branch) we get the possibility to switch to an tested poppler-internals independent solution (while using poppler)
I there is no big NONO I will go forward and enable this within the next days. attached the patch that is needed for this (tested on windows, should work on Linux)
regards,
Adib.
I went a step forward and copied the preview dialogue from the poppler import. So this dialogue is now available.
However the only functionality that is in use is the page selection and page preview. I do not know how to tune the parameters for pdf-cairo conversion. i.e. when importing text all letters becomes single path elements. Not so nice.
Any suggestions.?

THx for the message, fixed in bzr. Adib. (my btool still running...)

Everything fine now. Thanks. Luca

Tested with Inkscape 0.48+devel r10053 and r10067 on OS X 10.5.8 (i386): the preview fails (empty) for PDF documents with just one page:

As mentioned earlier, the current dialog fails to show a preview for single-page PDF documents.

Text actually is outlined based on the embedded and subset fonts in the PDF file which is a very useful feature for fonts not installed on the current system (if the user does not intend to edit text as text).
The fonts remain kind of "embedded and subset" in the SVG file as well (but not as SVG fonts which Inkscape couldn't render anyway): the original paths for a glyph is stored as <symbol> in the <defs> section and referenced as clone in the drawing.
Note: outlined texts (import text as path) is a frequently requested feature direly lacking with Inkscape's default PDF import.
Apart from the text issues (btw - gradients and gradient meshes are also imported differently than with Inkscape's own PDF import routines, often with (visually) more precise results compared to how the PDF file renders in a PDF viewer):
Could someone familiar with poppler and cairo please review the findings reported in:
