Saving as PDF on certain files crashes inkscape?

Postby ait » Fri Dec 26, 2014 11:56 pm

Hello,
I have a problem regarding saving to PDF.
So I have a set of about 24 svg files which I am saving to PDF.
I have gone through the first 11 of them fine (and I did this using the program InkscapeBatch as well as simply doing each one manually).
However there is one file (and perhaps others that I haven't gotten to yet) that when I try to save as a PDF I get the error message "Inkscape Encountered an Internal Error and Will Close Now." Then I have to close inkscape and the file never converts.
I have tried copying the contents of this bad file to another inkscape file and I still get the error.

I am using version .48, windows.

NOTE: I did some research on the topic and other people suggested deleting the "preferences" file but that didn't work.

Thoughts on what might be causing the crash? And more importantly, thoughts on how to fix this?
thanks
a

Ok,
So after doing some more research and looking at the error log, I decided to uninstall and reinstall inkscape.
That seemed to fix things...
so I guess this topic is closed..
thanks
