Re: [Inkscape-user] Saving as PDF creates a very large file

I was just mucking around with Ubuntu 8.04 beta today, and installed Inkscape 0.46 there, and it installed cairo 1.6.0 without any tweaks to the repositories, so you should be able to install cairo 1.6 on the latest Kubuntu from the repositories. Or if it's not readily available for Kubuntu 7.10, then 8.04 has release candidates and the final version is due out within a week.

If you are having problems with large PDF files sizes I recommend ensuring that Inkscape is using version 1.6 or later of cairo and the "Convert text to paths" option is not set.
