Hi,
I have a figure with 4 levels and different types of elements on these levels. the important part is a png image where I removed the background to have colour shining through. However I donot succeed in saving the svg file and exporting it to pdf: the png figure is not shown. Do you have any idea what triggers this behaviour? Other similar files are properly saved and exported. Enclosed are two screenshots to show what is shown in inkscape (1) and anywhere else (2), for example in windows explorer which is examplary for Acrobat and anyother program. You will notice that the next figure 127BK is shown properly, demonstrating that with the first figure there is something fishy.
Thanks for your help
Bernhard
Hi Bernhard,
could you rather attach the svg and the pdf? (or if they are too large, you could use a file hoster or move over to inkscapeforum.com, where attachments are possible. Might need to be zipped, though).
As a possible cause you could check for by yourself, I could think of a bug with clip masks and pdf export in the current Inkscape version.
So: Are the png's you imported clipped? (select and look into status bar. If they are grouped, make sure to also check the group they are in for clip masks).
(Btw: is it the pituitary gland?)
Viele Grüße, Maren

Some part of the problem is gone: I could display properly when png was embedded instead of linked. For the other problem (underlying colors) it may take me few more efforts to have the svg open for demonstration.
Till later

I sorted it out. I had to do with pdf -> svg conversion, the original svg is correctly displayed and converted to an correct pdf as well. Since I seemed to miss a svg for changing some text, I converted it back from pdf to svg. Some polygons in the layer with the colors were not correctly imported/converted. They lost their shapes and became squares which did span the entire picture. They could not be edited, only discarded.
If you still want to try it I make an image available my dropbox. Please let me know by personal mail. And yes it is from the pituitary, from a book "Hormone und Hormonsystem" (3rd Edition Springer) by myself and a colleague, an English version to appear when the producer has created the index and I give my okay.
I still working on these images, since I would like to transform the entire book to xml and obviously the svg need polishing, at least scaling, to be appear correctly on my display.
Kind regards
Bernhard

- I'm not on the development side of things, Bernhard - so I'm just happy you've found a way :) When you have found something that is reproducibly giving wrong results, it might help Inkscape if you create a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape , so it can be fixed. But it would need example files, of course, and I understand that because of copyright you might not want to add them there... :/

- Interesting topic ;) If you would like someone (with a medical background) to help you with this task, you can send me a personal mail ;)
