Hi Alexandre,
i will try Latex export next week, as soon as I return to my work computer, it sounds interesting, but I assume it will not solve my problem:
If I understand the description on http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/svg-inkscape/ correctly, the LaTeX export creates a pdf and overlays all text using LaTeX. But right now my "drawing" does not contain any complicated formulas, it does not even contain text, but only a blue square.
So my problem is not about rendering formulas, my problem is that pdfs created by Inkscape are RGB, but pdfLaTeX pdfs are CMYK per default. Now when an Inkscape pdf is included in a LaTeX document and that document is compiled using pdflatex, then the output pdf is in general CMYK, but the pages conatining Inkscape drawings are in RGB (the complete page). Colored text (like URLs) will now look different on RGB and CMYK pages.
This is not a big problem; and I am not 100% sure how this RGB and CMYK stuff really works, please correct me if I misunderstood something or if there is a simple solution.
Right now my workflow is to export from Inkscape to ps or eps and then convert from ps or eps to pdf using Acrobat Distiller.
Regards,
Matthis
