I've been using Inkscape produced SVG's and PDF's in preparation of printed material for years, never encountered any serious issues. Or maybe you just had been doing it wrong.

If Google Chrome can't show them the way you want them to be, nothing else will either. A quick test is to drag the SVG into a Google Chrome window. I don't know it this will help, but I abandoned Inkscape in favour of Scribus precisely because the SVG files that Inkscape produced couldn't be used anywhere else (I was trying to make them work in Sibelius, by the way).

Not Inkscape's nor Scribus's fault, just an object which gets imported properly (huge frame) as well as other elements of the file (zoom in in Scribus after importing the file and you'll find your logo too). You see that huge transparent object? That is the source of your import problem. Use Ctrl+A to select all objects in the drawing. Zoom out in Inkscape until you get to the zoom of 1% (which is a minimum zoom allowed)Ģ. The preview is completely transparent, as is the (huge)frame after importing.ġ. If I remember right, you can not use a 1.4.x version after converting the file to the 1.5.x file type. Maybe a regression in my bleeding edge version ? Yes, it is(the Inkscape SVG is attached).īut the image frame is still empty after this.

If nothing appears after scaling down, you can upload the. In my 1.5.0 version it comes in mm – don't know, which adjustment is responsible for this.ĭid you try the same in a 'stable' scribus version as well? with what results? QuoteI would expect the measurement to be in mm's given the unit of document. I don't think, that you created this logo on a virtual sheet of ten meters – so there is something weird.Īs it's a vector file (if it really is), you can scale it down – try with 1%, then the logo should be something around 10 cm long. but i just tryed in 1.5 (some two or three months old) and the values given in the preview look normal (could be the actual size on the work space when i created the artwork.) Usually i work with the stable branch (scribus 1.4.1) without this preview. Quote.Scribus decides that these 181,10 x 168,30 pixels should be mapped to 21104.10 x 29823 pt. there is no fixed resolution in vector files – where did you find this pixel values? How do you try to import the logo? – and is it really a vector file?
