Missing linked images and text

[theoryshaw]

Is it possible to convert the following files into a pdf? They were created with https://blenderbim.org/
I couldn't get linked pngs to work, and text doesn't show up.

svg: https://github.com/Kozea/CairoSVG/assets/507113/a9d54c99-9ae3-4c2a-8f50-63faae67f8dc
png referenced into svg: https://github.com/Kozea/CairoSVG/assets/507113/2b7a7c31-8b43-4431-8c1d-bfaf18439d90)

Here's the output....

What it should look like:

Hello!

Here’s the PDF I get

out.pdf

This result is much better than yours!

The image size is wrong, but I get the same rendering with my browsers, that’s not a problem with CairoSVG.

cool!, if i can ask, what was the command line you used?

That's weird, just to be sure i downloaded the svg/png from this github issue, and it seems to render correctly in Chorme and Firefox...

cairosvg file.svg -o file.pdf -u

I’ve just changed the name of the PNG image in the SVG file so that it can it on disk.

My bad, I don’t know what I’ve done with this image!

Thanks @liZe,

I ran it again, using your suggested command line prompt. I got the background image, but the text doesn't show up.

I suppose that it’s the same problem as #377. The bug is probably in Cairo: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/issues/530

You can try to use another font and see if it works. I’ll be even easier if you can use a Linux computer.

If it doesn’t work, you can try to add a comment on Cairo’s issue and hope for an answer. 🤞🏽
