Bug#518536: /usr/bin/pdftex: fresh upstream of pdftex is needed (latest stable pdftex is 1.40.9 available)
Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007.dfsg.2-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/pdftex
Dear Maintainers,
I love inkscape and pdftex, but current version of pdftex does not make friends with PDF generated by inkscape:
,---
| PDF inclusion: Page Group detected which pdfTeX can't handle. Ignoring it.
`---
This issue was reported before and elsewhere:
http://www.nabble.com/Cairo-PDF-output-and-pdflatex-issues-td18025710.html
It was stated that problem should be fixed in 1.40.6
http://sarovar.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=803
It would be great if any recent pdftex gets included within texlive,
since current version I guess is 1.40.3 according to convoluted ouput of
pdftex -version:
,---
| $> pdftex -version
| pdfTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6)
| kpathsea version 3.5.6
| Copyright 2007 Peter Breitenlohner (eTeX)/Han The Thanh (pdfTeX).
`---
and I guess it is more than a year old by now ;)
Thank you very much in advance
-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
