Although I don't use Inkscape professionally, in my work I have to be able to send data for others to use in neutral formats. I have found that you can never guarntee what they will do with the data. Therefore, I have got into the habit of sending the data in multiple formats, including derived view only ones such as png and pdf. This way, when they load the data into their system, they have a visual clue as to how complete the import has been.
View only formats won't work. My client needs the logo in scalable format because it's to be used for printing in both small and large formats. I tried opening the logo with Corel and Illustrator. Mostly fine, but blur effect is lost. I can apply gaussian blur or something in any of those apps but will it work when I'm back to inkscape? I need advice about compatibility, otherwise I won't be able to use Inkscape professionally due to every people in this place use only Corel or Illustrator.

Greetings I made a logo for a client who lives in other city. I'm sending him the source vectors for him to print and work the logo there, so I need to be sure about Inkscape SVG support in other apps. The logo is all paths and includes a shadow (blur effect). Will my file be successfully opened in Corel, and also Illustrator? Will it keep the blur? Please help on this.
