Summary:

The pdf files I create with inkscape can't be read by any pdf reader

Steps to reproduce:

  • create something in a single page or in multiple pages
  • "save as" or "save a copy" to anyfile.pdf

What happened?

can't open the file with any pdf reader. It says :"Impossible to open the file. The type of file image svg (image/svg+xml) isn't supported".
