Greetings-
I was wondering how you managed to export pdfs from Inkscape. I have been attempting to find the requisite packages/scripts, but have been unsuccessful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running 0.42 on Ubuntu Breezy.
There are several possible solutions but none of them really easy:
1. Use Batik (xml.apache.org/batik) to create PDFs. I'm not sure if you can create a multi-page document with it, though.
2. Create an XML-FO document and process that with FOP (xml.apache.org/fop). That's what I did.
The file structure for FO looks a bit strange but you only need to copy the surrounding structure from an existing file and then add pages with all the drawings.
Since you can include external documents in the FO, you can have the SVGs as single files (so you can easily edit them individually in Inkscape) and then use FOP to merge them into one big document.
