wine users - Jun 2011 - Can WINE convert a business card designed in Inkscape?

I have designed a business card using open source software called Inkscape.  I
saved the file in .pdf format and sent it to my local printer. They use Windows
software and said they could not open the file.

Is it possible that WINE can convert a high graphic .pdf file so the printer can
open and modify it? Perhaps I do not understand the full capabilty of WINE.
Cheers

Find another printer.  They should be able to use any Adobe product to
open the file.

Maybe Inkscape produces incompatible PDF files under certain circumstances, in
their bugzilla there are number of PDF-related bugs. You should try to open your
PDF files using Adobe Reader under Windows. If there should be issues with the
PDFs, you should file a bug at inkscape.org.

There is a simple solution to Inkscape PDF issues and some print locations.

Install on OS X or Linux a PDF printer http://www.cups-pdf.de/ print to that. 
Then PDF is fine.  By default it produces what is called PDF/A

Most of the issues with Inkscape and print locations is producing documents that
will open perfectly in adobe reader and other readers yet fail completely in
mass production lines.   Reason using PDF features outside PDF/A  A stands for
archive format.

BCgroundZero basically what did they try to open it with.  With windows adobe or
with their printing press.  If with their printing press it will be the PDF/A
issue.

Really wish Inkscape would add a PDF/A limitation switch so pdf printer was not
required to fix the mess up.  LibreOffice, OpenOffice and lyx all include PDF/A
export options.

hi just install PDF to word converter in your PC and convert PDF file simple,
