There is an output option for Inkscape 48 called PDF em CMYK. It is not covered in any of the books. When I select it I get a popup window written in Portugese. If I save it anyhow I get warning messages.
Is there an English language explanation of this feature?
Do I need to load additional software?
"PDF em CMYK" is not part of the official Inkscape 0.48 release (nor of the development version from trunk) - it seems that you installed an extension from the Brazilian Inkscape site mentioned in an earlier thread (in inkscape-devel):
Inkscape Brasil :: Extensão para exportação de PDF em CMYK: http://wiki.softwarelivre.org/InkscapeBrasil/ExportarPDFCMYK

I must have downloaded that earlier. When I save the file I get a warning message and the file contains zero bytes. Has anyone used this extension successfully? It looks like I am missing a python file somewhere.
The object of the game is to get a PDF X/1-a file with colors in CMYK. My current Inkscape workflow is as follows: Inkscape->(foo.svg)->Scribus 1.3.8->(foo.sla)-> Scribus 1.5.0->(foo.pdf).
Reasons: Only Scribus 1.5.0 among Open Source programs will export PDF X/1-a without converting to bitmap. But importation of vector files is faulty in 1.5.0. So I use 1.3.8 to get into native .sla format. 1.5.0 will handle the earlier .sla format OK.
