Bug Description
Hi,
I'm using Inkscape for a while and since I have installed the lastest
version 0.45, when I'm exporting of a page on PDF format, the generate file
is very big
- with Inkscape < 0.45 : 300ko
- with Inkscape = 0.45 : 1.8Mo
I saw in the changelog this :
*******
PDF export
Inkscape's PDF exporter has been improved:
* New features: bitmap images can be embedded; PDF files can be
exported from command line using the --export-pdf parameter.
* Changed behavior: the pointless text to path question is gone.
* Fixed bugs: save failure is now detected, miter limits are now >= 1,
PDFs with transparent gradient are now embeddable, eccentric elliptic
gradients fixed, dash style inheritance fixed, transparency inheritance
fixed.
*******
Maybe there is an option somewhere to set the exports properties of the PDF
files but I did'nt find it :o/

OK I think I have found the answer by myself on tavmjong. free.fr/ INKSCAPE/ MANUAL/ html/File- Export. html#File- Export- Other

.pdf (PDF). Text is automatically converted to paths. The following
features are unsupported: Gradients on stroke, clipping, masking, patterns.
(Note: Evince, a popular Linux Postscript and PDF viewer does not show
gradients with transparency, use Acroread instead.)
Saving PDF via a Postscript file removed in v0.45.
Expect great improvements in PDF export in the next Inkscape release! A
Cairo based exporter is almost ready.
Export to PDF produces uncompressed PDF files (which is legal according to ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ===
the standard). Some operating systems and display software may complain.

I hope in future version we'll have the possibility to choose the
compression level for the pdf output file :)
