Hi,
I've tried to export my work to postscript for production printing. I wanted to make pdf from ps file and email to that agency. My work contains text, a little graphics and three pictures (quite hires). When I run ps2pdf on exported ps file, gs fails:
I too am very interested in PDF export. From the RFEs i have read so are many others.
Gnome-Print supports PDF.
Although I have not tested it yet and didn't realise until very recently Inkscape can be built against Gnome-Print. Gnome-Print no longer has any gnome specific dependencies (although Gnome-Print-UI still has one or two left). You might try using Gnome-Print instead (but I realise this is a tangent and doesn't really answer your question).
As I recently mentioned to the developers the CVS version of Gnome-Print has an experimental SVG backend.
I would very much like the developers to consider enabling Gnome-Print by default if possible, without making Inkscape strictly depend on it. This would give a much more user friendly approach and would help development and use of standard libraries.
Sincerely
