Hello Steve,
there has been some progress with the pdf export. So if you try a current snapshot version and check again that would be perfect.
ALso you have to note that not all svg features will be converted to native pdf: -if you have transparency this will fallback to bitmap or no transparency -there might be problems with gradients as well -the development version does not export blur
HTH,
Adib. ---

Hi all,
I've created a schematic of a motor control circuit in Inkscape, and want to convert it to PDF. File-Save_as and then picking PDF for file type produces an image extremely pixelated on all curves, especially when viewed with Ghostview. Acroread looks better but is still pixulated on curves. It prints fine, but I want to use it as a presentation tool, so it must view well on the computer.
Exporting as bitmap (.png) and then converting to PDF was even worse.
File->save_as postscript and encapsulated postscript, and then converting with ps2pdf was also pixelated.
The least pixelated result I got was to save as XCF (Gimp native format), open with Gimp, save as postscript, then ps2pdf. In Acroread it looked great at all zoom levels, and in ghostview it looked great at 100%, and halfway decent at other zoom levels. However, it converted it to portrait and cut off the left side. I can fix that with a known workaround that if needbe, but before I go to all this trouble, I'm wondering if any of you know a good way to make a high quality, non-pixelated PDF from an Inkscape drawing.
Thanks
