The latest autopackage version of Inkscape exports quite well in .pdf (now it seems to handle transparency without problems, even though I have the feeling it converts texts to path, because the resulting files are hudges), but it crashes sometimes, so you might want to keep the stable version as well. Better try with your files, then if you have a problem look for another solution (there's Scribus, or ps, like others pointed).

I would like to convert .svg files (created in Inkscape) to .pdf files<br>and then print the file.<br><br>I've been advised that I would have better results when printing .pdf<br>files then I do with .svg files (I can't get the file saved as a .svg
<br>file to print when custom sized (anything other then 8.5 x 11 in.)<br>prints are needed. For example, I can't get a complete print-out of a<br>document created on 8.5 x 24 inch document format). I guess I should<br>ask, printing from an .pdf file will result in a continous print-out
<br>(using banner paper) of between 24 to around 36 inches, won't it? If<br>so.....<br><br>Please help me. Exactly, how do I convert a .svg file to a .pdf file?<br>What application(s) can I use to convert and then open and print the
<br>newly created .pdf file? I would like to use open source applications.<br><br>I will create the document in Inkscape.<br><br>Thank you so much one and all!!!<br><br>jt<br><br>--<br>Posted via <a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/">
