![]() After that, it continued, (exluding omission of first backdrop SVG) with almost undetectable disturbances to other filters in the image, up to 391 DPI sized PDF's. InkScape allowed up to 290 DPI PDF's to be written flawlessly. After adding numerous SVG's and PNG's the filesize ended up 60.9 MB as a plain SVG. (Three 9 color bars on a black background) Then, upon opening with InkScape, as embed, I traced to bitmap and applied 2 filters. It was originally a PNG I made with the GIMP. My Mac version at least told me about the #6 failure. So, I am left hanging without knowing what happened. But, the undo's don't show the last command taken. I went to undo to see if, "Undo import" would verify if it actually did load up. Normally, after the "unsupported features" prompt, the little page cursor comes up asking me where to put the image. PS The Win32 Scribus just stopped thinking. I wonder if I had converted all those PNG's to SVG's first, tweaked (with filters) them second, and then imported them, if that would have made the difference in Scribus and Ai being able to read them? It seems as though it's coming down to my 60 MB image must have filtered SVG's that are too advanced and/or in combination to, maybe since there are a mix of SVG's and PNG's in the image that Scribus and Ai don't like that. Illustrator won't load the image correctly (with the filters in effect). Scribus won't load the SVG, muchless convert it to PDF. Should I just send my huge SVG to my cousin who has the latest Ai software and let him convert it to PDF? InkScape won't export the SVG as PDF. It already said the "Unsupported Features press OK" prompt. I just now downloaded the Win32 version of Scribus and it is trying as I type. But, I don't think that would work if plain and InkScape SVG's don't work. I just now tried plain SVG and got the same thing. Then, it said, "Scribus crashes to system failure #6." Any idea what is going on? I think the file may be too big. Scribus tried to open my huge (60 MB) SVG (InkScapeSVG) image and came right out and said it contained some unsupported features. ![]() Or, if Scribus will even import the image with all the filter tweaks (I made on the fly). OK, I will now post this and go back to my Mac now and try opening an InkScape or plain SVG in Scribus and seeing if it will save the same (huge image) as PDF. Plus, I have InkScape and the GIMP running on this Acer laptop. I am looking into getting a MacMini with Intel inside. (I opened it in the GIMP and color picked the area of black) Is this the same faulty bug (inherent on MacPPC) that you mentioned in the earlier post that my MacPPC is prone to and will probably not be rectified? Its OK. I isolated the color on black to be RGB 11, 14, 6. But, I am getting the drab green blues again (on said PDF files). It simply was because the save directory (I guess being in default) was the Scribus directory and not my desktop. I found why I couldn't save PDF in Scribus. Or, do you guys know what is going to happen already? Is this a simple case of the PDF format not new enough to handle InkScapes filters? (importing the SVG and applying a filter as opposed to applying the filter and saving, then importing) I'll have to make a test on some smaller images to see. I have a sneaking suspicion I should have imported my images (the ones I put together for the main, big image) with their respective filters entact prior to tweaking them on the go, as it were. But, the file (when trying to open with Preview) said it may be corrupt. I adjusted the DPI a few times (72, 144, 300). But, this time (I guess because the image is so big) it said it cannot. However, InkScape ususally lets me save as PDF. I've created an image in InkScape and saved as plain and InkScape SVG's. When I finally managed to get help on IRC, they said "why are you using the story editor?"!! Those who know me say I have a lot of patience, but scribus has surely tried my patience, lol!) (I consulted the help manual on "working with text", where it instructs to "use the Story Editor". Or do you mean that you're trying to create a doc with Scribus and save as PDF, having nothing to do with Inkscape? If that's the case, you'll have to consult scribus support, which annoyingly can only be done via IRC.unless you're lucky enough to have your problem covered in the help manual. Like, I'm not clear if you were trying to save a drawing made in Inkscape as PDF and open it in, or import to Scribus. If it still doesn't work, please give the steps you went through, so we can try to replicate. So maybe just draw a simple square (or something like that) and try again? I know a lot of programs don't allow you to save a blank doc. You mentioned in your reply in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6468 that you tried to save a blank doc.
