[Bug 208217] Re: Masks don't work on print or PDF

 

Proposing to revert the bug status changes and close this old report
again - the elements which are missing in the PDF file if exported with
more recent cairo versions are curved paths with very very thin (almost
invisible) stroke widths.

The cairo issue is tracked for Inkscape in
* Bug #1174909 “inkscape fails to print thin lines to PDF”
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1174909
and is not related to the issue originally tracked in this report (bug #208217).

Title:
  Masks don't work on print or PDF

Status in Inkscape:
  New
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When printing on 0.46 branch, objects with masks don't appear on the
  print.

  In the attached picture, the turtle sitting in the water has a mask
  with a gradient to make his feet fade into the water. He prints fine
  in 0.45.1, but in 0.46 branch he's gone.

  Exporting to bitmap works fine on 0.46. Printing to bitmap (Render as
  bitmap) works fine also on 0.46. Save as PDF via cairo keeps the
  turtle but loses all blurs (blurs not implemented in PDF) and the
  mask, so his legs are fully visible. I think PDF should be capable of
  a blend to transparent, because the leaves on the bushes blend to
  transparent and they export to pdf beautifully.
