Could you please add information to the bug description about which installer was used (32bit|64bit, exe|msi|paf.exe|7z)?

Additionally, it might be helpful for further triage if you could attach the saved PDF file to the bug report as well.

Hi
Im not sure where to find info on which installer I am using...can you help?
Attached is the pdf

The SVG file you attached was last edited with inkscape:version="0.48.4 r9939".

The PDF file reveals that the Inkscape version used for savong a copy as PDF includes cairo 1.11.2, which means that you downloaded and installed a 32bit version of Inkscape (the 64bit builds for Windows of latest Inkscape 0.91 use cairo 1.14.1).

Could you test the performance in your perferred PDF viewers with the
attached PDF files, exported with Inkscape 0.48.5 and 0.91 (both using
cairo 1.14.0) on OS X 10.7.5?

Hello,
Brilliant. they both open and zoom perfectly on any pdf reader.
What do I need to do?

I emailed a reply but will do it again here.
Yes, both pdf's from the links opened and zoomed perfectly on all readers. Brilliant!
What do I need to do?

Question to members of the bug team: could someone with both 32bit and 64bit Windows builds of Inkscape installed confirm my suspicion that the reported poor performance of the originally attached PDF file in native PDF viewers is related to the creating cairo version (i.e. newer cairo produces more compatible PDF files)?

Hi
Ive downloaded new 64 bit version...problem solved.
Was running 32 bit on a 64 computer
Thanks

Setting bug status for project 'Inkscape' to 'Triaged' for now - AFAICT this is an upstream issue with older versions of cairo.
Report can be closed for Inkscape once all Windows packages ship with a newer cairo release.

Cairo (1.14.6) and Pixman (0.34.0) updated in the official win32 devlibs rev. 61.
