in the file OuvragesMaritimes2010Vf.pdf there is a remaining problem with the logo at the bottom right on page 1, namely the bright spot is too large. imho, this cannot be solved because it uses a feature not supported in Inkscape.

Using the Python package 'pdfminer 2011', this pdf file was parsed. It was found that this radial gradient uses a FunctionType = 2, which is a non-linear relationship between color and screen position, not supported by Inkscape, or svg as far as I can tell. The function is exponential, and is defined in section 7.10.3 in the document PDF32000_2008.pdf by Adobe.

I believe this addresses all the issues encountered in these pdf files, unfortunately not always successfully.
