problems with change pdf files

Postby Bogumil » Sun Feb 20, 2011 12:57 am

Hi,


I have problem with some pdf files. I wanna change pdf files in inkscape.
I try import pdf files to inkscape like charts tables. unfortunately in some files i can't see all chart.
For example I've imported chart and that file contains also numbers, text and Inkscape show me only chart without numbers, text. I don't
know what's going on, because rest files are ok. Program don't show any errors, bugs etc. during import.
Maybe I should use fot that "special" pdf files another program? But I don't know which one gonna be good to change pdf files.


with regards
Bogumil

Hi Bogumil, Image
Welcome to InkscapeForum!

The files that are not displaying the numbers and text, are those the only ones that don't display properly? Or do some of the files display the text properly, as you would like? I'm trying to determine whether the text might be the problem. Because when you either File menu > Import, or Open with Inkscape, there's a "PDF Import Settings" dialog which has a checkbox for "Replace PDF fonts by closest-named installed fonts". The purpose of this (I assume) is so you can still see text, even if you don't have that particular text installed (which was used to create the document). So make sure you have that option check-marked.

If that doesn't fix the problem, please tell me how you imported the PDF into Inkscape. Well, you don't have to tell me :P . But if you used File menu > Import, try just opening with Inkscape. Or if you just opened with Inkscape, try opening Inkscape first, the File menu > Import.

If none of this helps, please reply back and let us know. Someone else here can probably solve the problem, if I can't :D

Hi,

In that folder I have over 300 hundreds pdf files, I didn't check everything. I'm not sure
all files gonna be working properly (I hope so), but for the time being every files working without one group which are belongs to one product.
It product contains about 10 files and no one of this pdf files working properly :(. I've checked "pfd import settings",
all ways as possible i dupa :(.
To import that "interrupted" files I've used couple ways but problem still existing.

If you want I can upload one file which working properly and one bad file.

Yes, that's a good idea to upload a couple of files -- one which importing works and one which doesn't. I'm not sure if I would be able to find the problem, but I'm sure others can.

For some reason I'm unable to download them from megaupload. Could either someone else have a look at them, or could you upload here as an attachment to a reply?

Hello guys!


I figure out this problem

Mianowicie:), Inkscape has problems with some pdf files which were for example changed in adobe indesign progam.
when we export it files from indesign and after we wanna change in inkscape, we can't see some numbers texts etc.. that's why I opened again it file in adobe reader and print in virtual printer like for example pdssam or pdf converter. After this operations my pdf files working, I see numbers text and I can change it.

I hope so it problem I explained problem enough.

with regards
