Hi,
I have a question about PDF output. When you look at the screenshot http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/8774/bildschirmfoto40ji.png you can see the inkscape window on the left side and on the right side the corresponding pdf. I created the pdf with inkscape 0.43 on Debian linux with the "Save as pdf" command. As you can see it's not very nice.
When I "Save as ps" without converting text to path, I can import the ps into scribus and create a pdf from there. Then at least the text is antialiased, but the rest of the drawing still looks ugly.
My question: Is there currently any way to create antialiased graphics / text in the pdf? Is there any software that does nice svg-->pdf conversion? Linux or windows, I don't care, I just need a good result.
For now I have found a workaround: I export as hi-res png then I can use imagemagick to convert to pdf, but I would prefer a solution which does destroy the vector information of the original file.
T.E.

Could you post a link to the ugly PDF. I'm wondering if it will be antialiased in a different viewer, like Acrobat.

OK, the file is here: http://s62.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0C9VJ4M8VV6RV061UNS9027J87
With Acrobat 4 & 5 under Windows 98 I get the same ugly screen display. But when printed it looks good. Under linux with gpdf 2.10.0 the screen display looks perfect, exactly like svg in inkscape.

Your PDF looks just fine -- it's up to the PDF viewer to do the anti- aliasing. Acrobat reader has an option called "Smooth lineart/text" which controls this behaviour.
Here's how it looks for me:

Thanks a lot. I never heard about that option before. Now everything looks great.

Looks fantastic in Acrobat 7
If you used Acrobat 5, then that explains it.
