Hopefully this is easier on the eyes than my last post. The description is the same, but the attachment is the resulting svg file.

This relates to Inkscape 0.46 running on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.

It may be related to these bugs:
  Bug #291416: SVG from imported PDF cannot be reopened, characters error
  Bug #297701: Cannot open SVG file that was saved from a PDF opened with "Embed
 Images" option set (duplicate of 291416)
  Bug #297702: Cannot open SVG file that was saved from a PDF opened with "Embed
 Images" option set

        I opened a multi-page pdf in Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0, and then printed the a single page to a postscript file using the "hp color LaserJet 2550PS (60.34.41.0)" driver. Then I used the ps2pdf script of ghostscript 8.54 on OpenBSD 4.2 to convert the postscript file to a pdf (two-printed-by-reader-then-ps2pdf.pdf). Back on Windows XP again, the pdf file appears properly in both Inkscape and Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0.
        But something went wrong when the pdf file was then saved as an svg (two-printed-by-reader-then-ps2pdf-then-saved-by-inkscape.svg) by Inkscape. When Inkscape tries to open the resultant svg file, it displays the error message "Failed to load the requested file..." This seems to be the same as bug #291416.
