[Inkscape-user] Importing graphs from Excel

Hello list,

for an article I need to edit a graph made in Excel (2007).

This is my current workflow:

1. In Excel: Print to PDF (using Cute PDF) 2. Open the PDF file in Inkscape

The big caveat is: text items don't behave well at all. They are really naughty :p -> when changing fonts or size, the spacing doesn't adapt (so text gets squashed when a bigger font is chosen) -> certain text elements that don't belong together, all of the sudden become one item (f.e. the scale items and the R² text, but the ² is a different text block)

Currently, the only solution I see, is retyping all the text manually. Obviously, this is quite a waste of time.

I hope some of you know a better solution for this...

Thanks, Jurgen.
