Maybe Save as ps or svg. and then import the svg into Scribus. I don't think Inkscape has a direct route to PDF

Hi Claus,

If you are using Linux go Scribus.

I use Windows 2000 and have tried numerous PDF printer drivers. I have installed about six at one stage or another and the most useful I have found is PrimoPDF. It is free, instals as a printer driver and does not mess around with giving gratuitous messages or empty pages or any of these other cute devices to make you buy it. The results are better than several commercial PDF generators that I have tried (not Acrobat). PDFs generated with this driver do not have colour fringes. This is a problem with some other drivers, especially at high zoom levels, and the native resolution appears to be higher with Primo than with some others.

The increase in file size that happens is something that I find a bit of a hassle but I think that experience could reduce it but I never seem to have time to really track this down. It may be inherent in the PDF process or maybe Inkscape related....or both.

I would like PDF support it to be native to Inkscape. I think it is one area that would gain us a lot of kudos.
