You have been subscribed to a public bug: After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 12.10 the PDF files created by Inkscape are causing Xelatex to crash. This happens when a figure includes gradients. The compilation process exits with the message: ** ERROR ** pdf_link_obj(): passed invalid object
As discussed in this thread, the error seems to appear for PDF file with broken references: http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2010-December/019653.html Such files seem to be fixed by running "pdftk". The version number of inkscape in 12.04 and 12.10 didn't change though, the libpoppler and cairo libraries did, so the error might be located there... Steps to reproduce: Create a figure with a gradient in Inkscape and save it as PDF. Include this PDF in a latex document and try to compile it with xelatex. ** Affects: cairo (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: cairo (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: New -- Regression: PDF files created with Inkscape are crashing Xelatex https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cairo in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
