ungrouping imported pdf
Back again, new to Inkscape and still adapting these poems to send to an editor. I imported a pdf and want to re-work the text but can't figure out how to ungroup text and face profile line. thanks.

Re: ungrouping imported pdf
You will need to redesign the whole thing, that svg has only one embedded bitmap, you cannot ungroup that.

Thanks, I don't mean to ask stupid questions. On a really quick learning curve here.
Re: ungrouping imported pdf
Well for working as much of the program way and less tracing manually as possible it wasn't that easy.
First, wanted to extract your image from the svg as it wasn't maching the grid right.
Although there is an extension to do that, it didn't work.
Thus, copied the base64 coded part from the svg's codes, and decoded it here:

Then I could open it in gimp to remove some spots and the text for later importing and auto-tracing in inkscape.
Then, used the method described by brynn here:
http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13929&p=54309&hilit=map#p54314
Some more path simplifying, and the text could be added.
Result is attached.
Used the one on the top, the bottom one got some typos.

Re: ungrouping imported pdf
Ok that is amazing. I can work with that! Thank you so much. I am learning how to get my art and more complicated drawings into Inkscape format so I can add text and create effects, etc. I am learning slowly but surely. Really appreciate it!
Re: ungrouping imported pdf
Cheers. Good luck with the learning!
