No other SVG editors recognizes Inkscape SVG format!

Postby danmaster » Sun Aug 19, 2012 4:24 am

I am designing a logo using Inkscape, a great program.

When I export the logo to PNG (or any other format) everything works fine. The problem occurs when I want to share the SVG file. For example when trying to view the SVG with the Google Docs SVG viewer, everything looks bad. The letters above each other, the sizes disproportionate ... especially with the fonts. If I try to convert the SVG to PNG using a online SVG converter (http://www.fileformat.info/convert/image/svg2raster.htm), I always get the following error:

Code: Select all

null Enclosed Exception: null:-1 The URI "#linearGradient3965" specified on the element <linearGradient> is invalid


And I suspect that if I send this SVG to others for editing in another SVG editors, he will see a bullshit.

I tried to save the SVG as Inkscape SVG and Plain SVG.

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Ooops... when I open it with Google Chrome looks perfect. I guess the Google Docs viewer must not be very good with SVG.

Hi,

The Google Docs SVG viewer and tools @ fileformat are not reference implementations for SVG.
Try well known long established software to test the svg generated by inkscape such as batik, firefox, chrome, adobe illustrator.
Do they open it fine ?
