![]() ![]() PDF export is using some external packages that convert SVG to those formats, so maybe you don't have them installed on your computer so Inkscape can't use them. I tried the PDF Save a copy and it's working fine, I'm attaching the file I got. So you can keep working and saving your work. When working on a drawing and wanting to export into another format, but keep working on the drawing in SVG, use the "Save a copy" option! SVG will be open and you'll be working on it, then you'll Save a copy as PDF, the PDF is created in the background on your file system but it isn't opened by Inkscape, only the original SVG is open. I think there was an Issue reported to change the Inkscape interface to only be able to save in SVG, and all the other options would be moved to Export. Those formats aren't intended to be edited BTW, they are end files to be sent to print. Then when you need the same drawing in another format you export it into some other format (EPS or PDF). Not just the drawing, but the helper features like guides, grids etc. That is the only way to keep everything you've set up in your document. This is a rule for all apps, not just Inkscape: always save your work in the app native format. It's a normal warning that is being considerate to you to warn you before closing the application, because at this point you can still save under the native format and keep ALL the data, but if you close the app and you haven't saved the changes into the native (Inkscape SVG) you may lose what you'd like to keep. Just to clarify: when you get a popup about potential data loss after saving in some non-native format it's not a bug. I enlarged the object and only then would the re-size show up when printing. apparently when you change text font size, the text visually changes on the screen, but those re-sizings do not appear on a printed page. I sure hope my file isn't corrupted because I spent tons of time to get it just right. I don't know if this has anything to do with the save problems but I thought I'd mention it. It was frustrating because I was making incremental changes to an object's location or size but the printout was not changing at all. I remember that saving the file or quitting and reopening seemed to then show the changes when printing. Additionally, some changes I made, such as moving one object a bit were not shown on the paper when printing the file. ![]() I quit the program then re-entered but Align Left edges still would not work. The issues are that when after selecting multiple items then using the Align and Distribute's feature Align Left Edges, the Objects selected did not move into alignment. However, I did experience some other problems besides the save to. I did not use Recent.īy the way, I really enjoy working in Inkscape it is quite easy and very robust. The same thing happened when I attempted to create a. eps file and got an error message that the file could not be opened. I closed Inkscape and then re-tried to open the. eps file and another failure message appeared. When I tried to close that file or exit Inkscape, the message that the file was corrupt appeared. ![]() Once I did that, the file name is the upper corner had an extension of. svg file in Inkscape and then saved it (as a default. ![]()
