Just to be clear, when you looked at the new PDF in Adobe Reader, were you looking at it on the same computer where you created the SVG in Inkscape? If not, both computers would have to have the same fonts installed. And if it is, converting to path should fix it. If the text is the problem, maybe it's the unusual fonts. As I said before, Inkscape can convert text in an SVG to PDF with no problem. ![]() The only problem is that I'm not sure if that will solve the problem. To do that, select all the text, then Path menu > Object to Path. Just so you don't have to type it out again, if you needed to edit. For that reason, it's advisable to save a copy of the text somewhere, like outside the page border, or on a hidden layer, or even in another document. So if you convert the text to path, you're correct, it will no longer be editable as text. I never would have thought to mouseover the doc, if it was blank when I opened it. I'm not that familiar with Adobe Reader, so I've never seen the "Security" stuff. Is that correct?Ī further question: is it possible to give the document a background that looks like parchment? I suspect it means the text is no longer selectable as text, but becomes an image, which I would like. I'm just an amateur, so I don't know how to convert text to paths or what that means. I have a second computer with version 10 on it, and that option isn't there. In 9.3.0, if you click Document → Security → Show Security Properties and then click the "Fonts" tab on the resulting menu, it lists all the fonts that are in use in the document - in this case Arial Unicode MS, Euphemia, Georgia, and Tahoma. It looks like the "Security" option might have disappeared in newer versions of Adobe Reader. I can even copy the text and paste it into another program. There is an area above the main stream of text that is also selectable, and an area at the bottom of the document (where I have placed a small annotation) that can also be highlighted. Yet when I drag my mouse across the PDF, there is an area, presumably the text, that can be highlighted. When I view the exported document in Adobe Reader 9.3.0, the document is blank. Just for some additional technical information, I am using version 0.48.2. ![]() Ok, I'll leave all those questions for you, and when you reply, we'll go from there. Or maybe that's something from the viewer or Adobe Reader that you're using? I know about right-click > Object Properties or Object menu > Object Properties, but there's no "Security" there. What do you mean that the text is still there and still selectable? How can you see it if the document is blank? Also, I'm not sure what "document security properties" means. Have you tried converting all the text to Paths, before starting the export? So that would mean that you tried the option to export text as paths. I know you said you tried all the options available in the export dialog. ![]() ![]() When you see that the document is blank, where are you looking? Have you re-opened or imported the PDF back into Inkscape? Or are you using Adobe Reader? Or some other viewer or program? Are you sure about the capabilities of the viewer or other program? All the text in the document is still there it is still selectable and the four fonts I am using show up in the document security properties. I need to export the image I have as a PDF, but when I do so, the document is entirely blank.
