Assuming the wyvern PDF is 100% kosher (yes, the software which created the file could have introduced a nonconformity which tools like Evince, Okular and Foxit, by accident or design, "forgive"; this happens all the time, e.g., with loose standards like HTML <5), tools like Inkscape have a bug

John, if you just want a straight PDF reader that should work, try Foxit - its also free.

A work-around which usually succeeds is to use Foxit to "print" a page at a time to a PDF pseudo printer (I use the free PDF24). Then read the single-page PDF into Inkscape. I have just tried this for one of the wings of the Canon Wyvern, and it came out fine. Alan |

Downloaded through Safari on iPad. Displays and prints fine.
Also saved to Books as a PDF. Again it displays and prints fine. Those things said I have occasionally had display/print issues using Adobe Acrobat Professional on my desktop in the past. Acrobat Professional no longer runs on my machine (it’s a VERY old version). For a reader I am using PDF Reader which was free. I’ll upgrade to the full version (equal to Acrobat Pro) for short money when I need it. Have finally escaped the clutches of evil Adobe.

However, data loss is possible, for instance in colorspace conversion, and transforming gradients and masks from vector to raster. Although the file is visually ok, this could limit the range of editing which prompted the use of Inkscape in first place. |

Colour consistency is certainly a problem. Nowadays I very rarely print directly from the original PDF file, but go through the same sequence for the original pages as I will for any subsequent editing, so the colours will be consistent, if not exactly what the designer intended. Of course, my printer and the paper I use will be different from his/hers, so there will never be an exact match anyway. Alan |

why print to another pdf printer when foxit has one that gets installed when you install the main program?

1. I have had PDF24 installed for many years and always found it thoroughly reliable, so I feel no urge to replace it. 2. I have also had Foxit for many years, and have forgotten (or perhaps never known) that it has a PDF printer option. For someone new to this malarkey it would certainly make sense to try it this way.
