Bug Description
Hi all:
on some cases Inkscape produce a weired bug in PDF, especially where gradients and translucent effects are present. Inkscape produce a PDF that is viewable by Acrobat, but confuse some older software For example RIP (raster image processor for Large format printer).
Workaround : Open that pdf in Ilustrator (cs3 in my case) it gives a waring: " Some objects were reintrerpreted", "An unknown shading type was encountered." but is displayed correctly. After saving to pdf in illustrator, pdf work well in other software too.
So I suspect Inkscape that do something not so standard while exporting to pdf. I suggest to have some "compatibility mode"
OS: WinXP SP3, 3GB ram, last updates installed , Inkscape 0.48
Thanx for help

1) Please provide information about which version of Inkscape you have installed: see Inkscape menu 'Help > About Inkscape' for details.
2) Please attach one or more sample SVG file(s) which can trigger such warnings in older software, to allow further investigation on other systems with different versions of Inkscape and cairo (external library used for PDF export by Inkscape)
