Bug Description

The following applies to Inkscape0707150130 on Windows XP SP2

The attached PDF file: It is a PDF-X1a 2003 (full cmyk, PDF1.4 compatible)
it is the PDF specification that is the most simple and standard for offset
printing. No layers, no spot colors, etc... This PDF has been produced by
Illustrator CS2.

The problem:
the PNG exported from the attached PDF is horizontally mirrored and cutted
(see attached PNGs). G9.png was exported with "export selected objects"
right after the importing of the PDF. G10.png was exported with "export
selected objects" after I moved the logo to the center of the A4 page.
LOGOdusicacouture.svg is the SVG saved by Inkscape right after opening the
PDF. Looks like there is a mirroring that occurs when saving/exporting from
this file, even if the PDF itself shows properly in Inkscape (see attached
screenshot screenshotPDFopen.png)

*********
color: When importing this PDF, the color is wrong. The original color
(which renders the same in Illustrator, Corel Draw, Photoshop (when
rasterized), Indesign) is C44 M58 Y86 K35. Inkscape shows C00 M27 Y61 K60
(alpha 100%).

is that color bug related to
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1221603&group_id=
93438&atid=604306) ?
*********

Also, I'd like to help testing more toroughly the PDF import feature. I
have tons of PDFs created by a bunch of different programs and I can even
create required PDFs (PDF-X3, PDF-X1a:2003 and others) from different
applications. So please contact me if you need some specific PDFs for
testing.

I unfortunately cannot upload the PDF file here (too big) so you can find
it here: www.lumenstudio.net/dusicadusica/LOGOdusicacouture.pdf

I just retested PDF import with Inkscape0712181705 and it looks like the mirroring bug is now gone. Still, there is the wrong color shown (C00 M27 Y61 K60 instead of C44 M58 Y86 K35).
