I can't understand why you want Inkscape in the equation at all. Your
best data is in your LyX/Beamer file(s), so why not just use that for
whatever you want?

The SVG standard has no provision for multiple pages. Inkscape has
added XML elements to simulate multiple pages, but it's pretty
squirelly. Please understand I'm a huge fan of Inkscape, recommending
it over LyX for flyers and the like. All the graphics on
Troubleshooters.Com and in my books for the last 10 years were made
with Inkscape. But Inkscape isn't the right tool to manipulate long
text documents. LyX is. LaTeX is. Plain TeX is. Docbook is. But not
Inkscape.

Forgetting what technology is to be used, what is it you want to
accomplish?

Is it possible that you use non-ascii characters in the path/filename or 
metainfo for the pdf?

The "best" solution that I found is to downgrade inkscape to 1.2.2
Every things is fine then.

The other problems doing that way are:
1) The color are not maintained (cf. yellow turned to black)
2) The name of the layers is not properly set: this can be fixed my renaming 
the layers

I can use the option all,
but this is a bit strange.
I must get each slide associated with a pages (with the right page number)
but I get no page numbering.

The right behavior is obtained with a direct opening (inkscape file.pdf) when
the pdf file is "correct".

Then take the internal importer from Inkscape, I can import here a
multipage PDF (here 55 p.) and get all pages when checking the box in
the Inkscape-import-dialog without corruption.

Choosing poppler/cairo in Inkscape 1.2.2 I can import any single page
of a LyX-generated multipage PDF chosen in the Inkscape-import-dialog.

Importing LyX-generated (2.3.7) PDFs into Inkscape (1.2.2) works here
on Ubuntu 22.04.

Importing pdf works fine, but it destroys the structure of the pdf file.
ie. the pages numbering and structure is lost.
Using Cairo let me only get the first page of the pdf file.

pdf to inkscape

2023-08-27 Thread Patrick Dupre
Hello,

4 years, I generated pdf files (from beamer/lyx), and I can
import them to inkscape, just by doing
inkscape foo.pdf
Now, I recompile the same lyx files and I generated the pdf file,
but I cannot use anymore inkscape.
I get 
* (org.inkscape.Inkscape:6601): ERROR **: 13:20:50.614: 
unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: input string not valid UTF-8

I am not sure that it is related to lyx.

Some ideas?

Thanks
