When trying to save a copy
to PDF (and also in print to file
) the resulted file are broken.
For example: if my pattern is small red dots, the pattern in the PDF are chunks of squares with small red dots.
I'm using Inkscape 0.91r on Ubuntu 14.04.
Any help would be very appreciated.
EDIT: Here is a visual example of the problem:
Fairly typically when you export to other formats then internal representations have to be flattened. In case of pattetns it would mean breaking ot into repeating objects. Even illustrator does this so i would say PDF does not support the concept of patterns in a way that could end up roudtripped back as pattetns. (If there are patterns in the spec i havent looked at them) – joojaa – 2015-09-20T09:16:29.767
I don't want to go into the internals, but i'm pretty sure Inkscape patterns can be converted to vector objects when converted to PDF. I don't mind it will be flattened in any way that the Inkscape team will find suitable, but currently it's just not usable. – Shai Efrati – 2015-09-20T09:25:51.533
