inkscape to indesign = impossible?

Postby waya666 » Sun May 04, 2014 9:27 pm

Hello.

Iv created some maps in inkscape that supposed to go into my thesis document.
However indesign cannot import svg, so i saved the maps as .eps but apperently inkscape only rasterizes the eps due to a bug. Iv tried to save it as a pdf but another bug makes objects to dissapear. All other file formats seem to only result in a rasterised file.
I need vector.

Any idea on how to not have to remake all the maps?

thanks.

If there are filter effects in the svg, they may get rasterized during export.

Upload a sample file if possible.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
