inkscape transparent background png not working

Those didn't start as MS PP Word Art, and they also have this problem. I have 4 or 5 images in my document like this. I think that the MS PP Word Art got changed to raster with transparency when I exported it. Thanks for the detailed replies! I updated the screenshot in my original post so that everything is clearer. Your screenshot looks more like the printing bug. Maybe by reading them, you will find some workarounds? Just on a quick reading, I saw a couple of things you could try.Īnd if you printed the PDF, that's another different bug. However, note that we have not examined your various files, and I'm not sure if your problems are the same as these reports. Let's see if I can find the actual bug report. Even though you tested in 2 different viewers, the problem could still be with the viewer.) It's possible the problem is with the viewer. (Assuming I'm correct about it being a bug. I'm pretty sure it just cropped up in the current stable version. Well I'm not sure about the details of the transparency issues with PDF conversion. What is that blurry black fogginess behind the text in the PNG version? Or possibly if you changed the Inkscape background to opaque - I'm not sure about that. But if there is an opaque object behind whatever you selected, it won't be transparent. It will respect transparency, if it's there. Make a Bitmap Copy changes whatever you select into a PNG, and leaves it in the image. Save a Copy saves an SVG file in whatever folder and name you choose.

Strange that the two work differently.Īre you talking about File menu > Save a Copy? Or Edit menu > Make a Bitmap Copy? The PNG I screenshotted above was from File -> Save As Copy -> PNG.
