Bug Description
Attached "001 COVER 24 X 36 FORCE.pdf" file is imported into Inkscape 0.48.2 mostly black and garbled.
Steps to reproduce:
- open "001 COVER 24 X 36 FORCE.pdf" in Inkscape 0.48.2
- note the file looks fine on preview windows of the dialog "PDF Import Settings"
- compare original PDF and imported image
Tested on OS: Windows 7 64bit using Inkscape Portable 0.48.2 r9819.
> mostly black (…)
Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.2, 0.48.4 and 0.48.x r9948 on OS X 10.7.5, not reproduced with current trunk (0.48+devel r12340).
> (…) and garbled.
Partially "garbled" text (replaced by apparently random letters) reproduced with stable 0.48.x as well as current trunk on OS X 10.7.5. IIRC we have earlier reports tracking such text/encoding issues with certain PDF files (I'll search for related reports later).
