An alternative method of saving your work from Inkscape is to click on File menu > Export Bitmap and save as a PNG file, then open it in MS Paint and save as a JPG file, then insert into RoboMaster to autotrace.

As for the PDF issue, the only practical way of going about it is to copy or export the pages to individual images, load them in Robo Master, and trace the cut lines and fold lines in different colors.

Pepakura Viewer for CraftRobo
This is a version of the viewer that adds registration marks to the A4 sheets of paper when you print out your paper model pieces. It also translates the different lines in Pepakura (edge, fold, and flap) and sends cutting data to the Graphtec Craft Robo CC200-20 when you have set-up a page for the machine to cut the pieces out. I also set it to perforate the fold lines for speed.
