The Inkscape created pdf from SaveAs using the current LatestExe is as fine as the ghostscript created one. As already mentioned the produced file is very large. The stable release 0.44 forgets the raster graphics, otherwise is fine too.

postscript). Open the ps file in GSView (need to also install ghostscript, both at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) and print from there or convert to pdf (File -> Convert: select pdfwrite).
Can you please provide an example svg/ps/pdf combo where this path gives a better pdf than SaveAs Pdf directly? And, please check whether it still does so with the Svn trunk version of Inkscape. File a bug-report in that case.

Okay.

True. The Pdf is uncompressed (both vector graphics and embedded bitmaps) and very very naïvely created with lots and lots of duplicates of graphics states and gradients and what not. Also, text is always converted to paths. The focus has been on producing output that renders correctly in a pdf reader. Reducing file size might follow, though that is not sure
Using the "LatestExe" you should also be able to test the new Cairo-based pdf exporter. This is supposed to replace the native pdf exporter somewhere down the road

He. If that's all you have noticed you have not stressed the native pdf exporter in 0.44 too much ;-)
