I tried the SVG and it seems fine. For some reason the PDF you exported has been converted to a bitmap. This is completely normal for some effects, the strange thing is that the whole page was converted to a bitmap. My opinion is that this is (or better said, was) a bug or limitation on cairo based on my own similar problems.
I have just created a PDF from the SVG file and here is the result (see attachment). Notice how the blur effects are lost in the PDF (this is normal). I tried to export that as a bitmap but it didn't seem to work. ** Attachment added: "inkscape.pdf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16042019/inkscape.pdf -- Huge color "blobs" in PDF export and print https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
