I was trying to upload my files to the editorial manager system of a journal, but it does not support *.pdf_tex files which I created using inkscape for my figures. Now, I need to convert those images into pdf/eps with the same font (size, style etc) as that in my original document. How to do that?

Thanks in advance!

  • Hey Ayan! What are you having trouble with exactly? Does Inkscape not allow exporting to pdf/eps?

  • The journal which I am submitting my papers to has an inbuilt tex management system. But their system does not support *.pdf_tex formats which I created while I made the figures originally (on my computer, they are working fine). I want to ask how to convert those figure files now into pdf, not distorting the fonts inside it.

On exporting to PDF Inkscape allows converting text to paths. In the PDF-Save dialog tick

  • Convert texts to paths

To also keep filters we may have applied tick

  • Rasterize filter effects

enter image description here

This will keep all text with the original font and font attributes but text will only be editable as a path on re-importing and objects with filter effects will have been converted to non-vector bitmaps.

  • I would like to add to @Takkat reply, that you can rename the file ".pdf_tex" to just simply ".tex", since it is just a text file. Assuming your submission system allows LaTeX files. Regards,
