Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.46+devel r22540 on OS X 10.5.8 (cairo 1.8.8) OS X native PDF viewer has no problems with the exported PDF file.
You could try and cleanup the <defs> section first ('File > Vaccum Defs') and remove all empty (flow) text elements (look at the SVG file with Firefox: all black boxes are empty flowText boxes) in the XML Editor. Save SVG and then as PDF again. I'm attaching the PDF file of the cleaned-up version, could you test if it still crashes Adobe Reader? ** Attachment added: "168610-Dart-LeWitt-3.pdf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34427883/168610-Dart-LeWitt-3.pdf -- Exporting patterns and gradients doesn't work for PDF / EMF https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/168610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
