Comment 32 for bug 168610

I too am running into problems saving as PDF files with gradients. I spent two evenings tracking to problem to gradients (a basic feature of Inkscape, no?). I am only using PDF because other bugs prevent direct printing of my SVG file. Now I can't print via PDF either. That led me to find this bug report. Many hours and hours wasted, so please consider this a high priority bug. Thanks!
