[evince] Perhaps could you share with Inkscape project ?

Hi,

I develop the Inkscape SVG Filter Effects (SVG Filters are the only thing I know in development) and on the other hand I often need to vectorize text from PDF documents which contain embedded fonts non installed on my system.

Some days ago I added a Blueprint on Launchpad about vectorizing text while loading a PDF in Inkscape

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/vectorize-embedded-fonts

Thanks to Evince SVG output I can do it now without using proprietary software like Adobe and that's very very cool !!! However the output needs some extra steps to become useable in Inkscape. For example in the document I tested one must ungroup three times and unlink clones and the object stay in root and aren't on a defined layer like I explained it here (sorry this is in French).

I don't know if these infos can be useful for you to improve this output ?

I asked me if you had some contacts with Inkscape developpers. Perhaps that could be very constructive !

regards,
