Hi all,
I have two files to insert into latex document, which I would like to insert as PDF (not eps or png, those work just fine). They are both attached. All my tries were in vain, from blank PDFs (saving directly to PDF) to corrupted PDFs (plain SVG -> IM convert), or cut images (eps -> ps2pdf). Any ideas on how to get these to PDF?
The reason they get cut is because parts of the drawings are outside the page boundaries (the save as PDF will use those). The page borders seem to be hidden in your SVGs, so first make them visible ("File"->"Document Properties" and set "Border color" to solid black, and check "Show page border"). Then, with the dialog still open, select everything in the drawing and press "Fit page to selection".
Next, the texts in the illustrations are "flow texts", this happens when you drag out an rectangle to type in with the text tool, as opposed to just clicking. These flow texts are kind of problematic for many reasons (e.g. they're no a part of the SVG standard, and probably won't export to PDF), so convert them to regular text objects. Do this by selecting all flowed text objects, and hit "Text" -> "Convert to text".
I've attached the PDFs I got after doing those two things...
