pdf import creates invalid svg (fault upon later read)

[Darko Veberic]

import of the attached pdf file results in working internal vector representation but when the scene is saved as svg, inkscape reports an xml "parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value" in <tspan> when the svg file is opened again...

confirmed on Windows 7, Inkscape 0.48.1
exit messages are:

Corrupt SVG file

[Beluga (buovjaga)]

No repro. Used internal import. Plz re-test.

Arch Linux 64-bit, KDE Plasma 5
Inkscape 0.92pre1 15054 (GTK3)

[Darko Veberic (darko-veberic-kit)]

checked with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on ubuntu 15.10: after import of this pdf is saved as svg, the subsequent opening of the svg file reproduces the graphical elements of the pdf, although there are some stderr messages:

0.svg:4076: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 3
                         id="tspan2480">^C</tspan></text>
                                        ^
0.svg:4106: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 2
                         id="tspan2496">^B^C</tspan></text>
                                        ^
0.svg:4106: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 3
                         id="tspan2496">^B^C</tspan></text>
                                         ^

** (inkscape:19781): WARNING **: Couldn't find row for font-family: Sans

where ^B = 0x02 and ^C = 0x03.

Parser error messages reproduced when opening the SVG created with the PDF file on Xubuntu 16.04, trunk rev. 15071.
