Can you export it to PDF again?

Also, from memory, I believe that PDF's have trouble with gradients that contains transparency. Although, that wouldn't explain why the gradient doesn't appear anymore in the original PDF.

I think most publishing places will print a proof so you can check it's ok before doing the proper print.

Hi all,

Last year, I have used Inkscape to make a nice A0 poster with gradients. I exported the original svg to pdf and sent the file to my favorite printing shop. One year later, when I open the pdf file, I don't see the gradients any more. Of course when I open the svg file with Inkscape 0.45 the gradients are here. So my question is : if I ask them to reprint the file (I don't know what is the application they use) will the gradients be printed ? Is there a problem in the way that Inkscape export the gradients which could be broken by recent versions pdf software ?

Thanks for your help

S.
