SVG Import from libreoffice problem output pdf

[Hermann Rochholz]

Maybe this is connected to bug ​#167551 or #167646.

Windows 7 64 bit.
Libreoffice Draw: Export SVG,
SVG import by inkscape (0.91 newest version)and then
saving a pdf with tex output provides problems only(!) when Libreoffice contains text.

Result is that the pdf-output always has 2 pages and in Latex nothing is displayed.
(or lateX crashes).

Deleting text in LO provides a nice figure in LaTeX.
Writing text within Inkscape works perfect, too.

It can be also a LO bug in the output - I don't know.
But only inkscape people can check it out, sorry.

reproduction:
- draw LO "Draw" figure with text
- Export SVG
- Read SVG by inkscape
- Write out pdf and tex
-> pdf is consisting of 2 pages.

"Cleaning" svg or saving into an optimized svg
does NOT work- I've tried every option. Output always 2 pdf-pages.

(Point is: I have many drawings in LO and I want to put them in a large
LaTeX document. Now I have to delete the whole text and write it again)

Kind regards
Hermann

Thanks for taking the time to write a report!

Bug confirmed on Windows XP (32-bit), Inkscape 0.92.
Test files attached (note the error messages in the pdf_tex file).

Exporting to PDF *without* tex works correctly.

Or the pdf is multiple times exported. And this as many times plus 1
as text fields are in the SVG exported by LO.

A snippet of the file "machine_top.svg_tex":
-----------
   \begin{picture}(1,0.74045606)%
    \put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength,page=1]{machine_top.pdf}}%
    \put(-0.48466991,1.23614314){\makebox(0,0)[lb]{\smash{Wind- Richtung}}}%
    \put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength,page=2]{machine_top.pdf}}%
    \put(-0.48466991,1.23614314){\makebox(0,0)[lb]{\smash{Seitlicher Anströmwinkel}}}%
...
    \put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength,page=5]{machine_top.pdf}}%
  \end{picture}%

In V0.92 Bug is already existent.

Sorry, I don't know how to attach 3 files for comparison.

They contain a line and a short text.
Which is well exported.
  \begin{picture}(1,0.90808857)%
    \put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength,page=1]{test_text.pdf}}%
    \put(-1.38227829,2.17946605){\makebox(0,0)[lb]{\smash{This is TEXT in LODraw }}}%
  \end{picture}%

test_tex.pdf is the screwed-up pdf which makes from one picture two pages (providing a crash in LaTeX.
test_tex2.pdf is the "standard-exported" pdf with text.

I don't find the "newpage" in the pdf although I made a "diff" im vim.

in test_text3 there is NO text and this works.
