![]() Making sure the background for all of the SVG files was set to fffffff.Ģ. ![]() I looked through the beginner and beyond beginner forums here, but only saw one forum about flattening transparencies, but I didn't know if it was applicable.These were my tests:ġ. I have searched this more recently as an Inkscape question, and only found one link from 2012. I have spent weeks researching the problem on line, and watched countless videos about InDesign, and Adobe. ![]() I have tried- and I know some of these tests are fruitless,and some failed terribly, in that the whole manuscript was rejected, and not just the iterations which were composed completely of the PDF or PNG pages but I really wanted to troubleshoot this on my own. For an image heavy manuscript, KDP uses PDFs of the manuscript, so I am leaning to the problem as a flattening issue.( I have one page with a vector drawing from an Inkscape PDF) that worked fine- but it is a black and white ornament, so no gradient.) I also know that the images only have to fit on an 8.5x 11 piece of paper ( the trim size for the book), with minimum scaling. I narrowed it down to the pages that had the vector drawings, because the manuscript PDFs made with only text and photo images all passed muster. When the book was finished and I exported it to PDF ( about a hundred times, in about a hundred ways), I would try to upload the completed PDF( which also looked great) to the Kindle Direct Publishing site for paperback printing and it kept getting rejected. I uploaded them and placed them into my book manuscript in InDesign (also pretty new to me), and they looked great. I composed a number of drawings for a book in Inkscape, and saved them as SVGs, PDFs, and as Cairo PNGs. I am learning that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I intuitively, or by much trial and error understand the artistic end of it, but not always the technicalities. I am a relative beginner to vector drawing and have really enjoyed working with Inkscape. ![]() I am working on an old Dell, with Inkscape 1.02 I believe. Sorry about the wordy title, and the wordy letter.
