This page identifies exactly what sort of PDF support Inkscape needs. This information is essential to complete the plan for the PrintingConsensusPoll.

  • Arbitrary .pdf and .ps files can be opened or imported directly into an inkscape document in exactly the way that .svg files are imported.
    • All shapes are editable
    • All text is rendered in the same font as the original .pdf
    • All text is appropriately sequential (multi-column pdfs are handled correctly)
    • Arbitrary "page to import" is selectable for multi-page documents.
  • Arbitrary .svg files can be "saved as" .pdf files
    • What does the .pdf rendering model have that .svg does not?
