Save as pdf woes

Postby kturner1005 » Fri Apr 25, 2014 6:09 am

Hello, I am having a problem with printing to pdf. I have a drawing with several arrays, but when I print to pdf, only one array appears in the file. The same thing happens when I try to save as a .png.

plain svg: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpoh822ambbmu ... 20mask.svg

pdf output: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjt2m14cvvjnw ... 20mask.pdf

To circumvent this issue, I have had to open my .svg file in Illustrator, then save as a .pdf. At first this appeared to solve the problem, until I realized that the features in my array had been scaled due to the repeated cycles of open/save as. Repeatedly trying to control the page size for import/export in Illustrator is not helping either. Unfortunately for my application it is crucial that the size of the features remains true to the original .svg file.

If anyone has any insight on this, it is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi.

Once ungrouped and released clone links, it works here.
