save as pdf: acrobat - a number value is out of range
by Marco A. S. Netto 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

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

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! >> Doesn't postscript level 3 handle >> transparency ? > > No. > 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 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

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. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

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 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

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)?

Those kind of fonts . . .
by RoSourceforge 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hi folks ! I noticed that the list of fonts into Inkscape is different that in the other software. I use the font think to manage my fonts. I installed some new fonts and unistalled others. They are usable or not on all software and not into Inkscape. any ideas ? one of them is ZAFCHAB.TTF (the attached file) R.

New Docking Pallet
by Ezequias Rodrigues da Rocha 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi list, First thank you for the docking color pallet. Just Perfect ! I would like to know why a right click on a color pallet do not fill the color stroke (the border of an object) ? It would be more productive than the old way. Best Regards -- Ezequias Rodrigues da Rocha http://ezequiasrocha.blogspot.com msn:ezequias@...9...

I guess I wasn't clear. I am specifically asking about the roads in the image. The roads are outlined in black, and the outlines do not cross the places where the roads cross. Is it possible to do this in Inkscape? -- Brandon Blackmoor bblackmoor@...477... 2006-07-02
