Printing Conondrum
by Rick Spillane
I want to print my work out now that I've finished working on it.
However it seems as though every portable file format that I can take
to the poster-printing place is broken with respect to something
Inkscape uses in SVG, the export to bitmap seems to ignore
transparencies in certain spots for some reason, the pdf export leaves
out whole shapes, and cuts off other shapes, as well as distorting
them too, and I don't really think post script will do better than
pdf, but I haven't honestly tried that yet.
Is there some way to export my SVG drawing to a portable and printable
format that I can take to kinko's?

0.44 crashes
by Lars Behrens
Hi there,
anybody facing the same problem? As I can't log in to scourceforge ("
Logins to SourceForge.net are currently disabled."), I thought that I'd
ask if someone has an idea what could be wrong:
When I try to start inkscape 0.44 it crashes with the following message
(Inkscape 0.43 works ok):

Problem with gradients
by Leonardo
Hi all,
I'm learning to use Inkscape, and have found my first 'real'
problem.
I made something with inkscape that has a color gradient in it,
but when I save it as eps or pdf file, the gradient is not
present and I see only a full color.
I searched the net for posts and documentation, but I could
only find a note on inkscape 0.42 saying that it supports eps
gradients.
I have 0.43, so where's the problem?
Thanks, Leo

save as pdf: acrobat - a number value is out of range
by Marco A. S. Netto
Hello guys,
I'm having a problem to save a figure as .pdf. I tried to reduce the
number of objects of my original figure to figure out where is the
error.
So if a simply create a new file and import the object
computer/server_olivier_boyer_01.svg from openclipart, after I save
this file, when I open my Acrobat 7.0.1 I receive the message "a
number value is out of range".
Has anybody had this problem? I don't know if there is something
special in the "server_oliver_boyer_01.svg" file.
Please, any help is very welcome. (I'm using inkscape 0.44.)
Thanks in advance,
Marco

Thanks to everybody I was able to print my files with transparency (and
still have a few hours of sleep ;) ). There's still the problem of text
without transparency but that'll have to do for now (and it could be an
acroread bug - evince don't even handle transparency in pdf so I can't
check)
I can't print in bitmap because my printer don't like it (not enough
memory), that's another reason to use Inkscape over the Gimp!

The day they'll add it will be a good day - unless cairo comes to help
before (if it's possible to use cairo for printing, that is)

NEW: dropper tool option changes
by bulia byak
Instead of the confusing toggle button, now the Controls bar for the
Dropper tool has two checkboxes, "Pick alpha" and "Set alpha", which
work as follows. Suppose you have an object selected and, using
Dropper, click on an object which has red (#FF0000) fill and 0.5
opacity (half-transparent).
- If the "Pick alpha" checkbox is off, the selected object
will get the fill color #800000 (i.e. faded-out red) and fill opacity
will be at 1.0 (opaque).
- If the "Pick alpha" checkbox is on but "Set alpha" is off,
the selected object will get the fill color #FF0000 (red) and fill
opacity will be at 1.0.
- If both "Pick alpha" and "Set alpha" are on, the selected
object will get the fill color #FF0000 (red) and fill opacity will be
at 0.5 (half-transparent).
If you Shift+click instead of click, the same changes will be made to
stroke color and stroke opacity, correspondingly. Note that in no
situation can Dropper change the master opacity of the selected
object(s), although it can pick it just as it does any other kind of
opacity.

0.44 exports in pdf with transparency. Great thanks!
However, it seems text areas marked as transparent aren't exported as
transparent - acroread 7 doesn't show them with transparency. Is it the
expected behavior?
Inkscape doesn't print with transparency. Is it also a known bug, or is
it a system problem (ubuntu Dapper)? Has anyone been able to print with
transparency directly from Inkscape?
Thanks,
Loïc

Transparency and printing or pdf export
by Loïc Martin
Hi,
I'm trying to print a file created with Incscape (Inkscape 0.43+devel,
built May 31 2006) but I can't get it to take in account the
transparency, either in direct printing, pdf export (or ps either).
I know I can export in bitmap, but sadly my printer has only 2m of
memory and I can't print big bitmap files.
Does anyone has a solution (possibly involving another program to print
the svg)?
