How to Convert SVG Text with Gradient to PDF/EPS

Postby Thorvarium » Wed Jul 15, 2015 5:59 am

Good afternoon,

I'm having issues converting texts with gradients to PDF or EPS, shapes or paths are working without problem.
PNG exporting working all right too.

After the conversion the text color is the first stop of the gradient like plain color, please check the attached images.

Something is wrong with the SVG code? or options to export...

Thanks!

Hi, I'm just a simple mortal Inkscape user and no programmer or expert, but have you checked if this is a known bug, or related to one?

There was another recent question almost exactly like this. Searching the forum should turn it up. I apologize that I don't remember the answer.

Workaround for users:
  1. open file in Inkscape
  2. 'Edit > Select All' (Ctrl+A)
  3. 'Edit > Cut' (Ctrl+X)
  4. 'Edit > Paste in place' (Ctrl+Alt+V)
  5. optional: 'File > Clean up document'
  6. 'File > Save a Copy...' --> PDF
