Comment 3 for bug 427003

Inkscape 0.46+devel r22200 on OS X 10.5.8 - import took a while but the imported image looked the same as the PDF on screen.

1) I wanted to take a look at the XML structure and called the XML Editor, which never opened:
Inkscape used 100% CPU and up to 980 MB memory; after 10 min. I force quit Inkscape as it seemed to hang indefinitely.

2) after import I selected the image in the lower left corner - the status line says
> Group of 129243 objects in layer 427003-janitorialfinal1
and clicked 'ungroup' in the command bar: Inkscape used 100% CPU and up to 1.1 GB memory; after 10 min. I force quit Inkscape.

After that I did not try above steps to save it ;-)

@MetaEd
1) Do you have the source for the PDF file? i.e. do you know how it is structured? Most of Inkscape's imported PDF files I have seen have a deeply nested structure of groups - especially if some objects are filtered or have gradients (with transparency) - this one seems unusually 'flat' to me.
2) Can you open other PDF files created by 'Neevia Document Converter 5.1' with Inkscape?
