Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Lost text in imported PDF

[chw0112]

I want to include a PDF in my document, which is output as a PDF as well. I've tried this two ways and I can't seem to make it so the text doesn't disappear. I've tried using Inkscape to convert it to a .pdf_tex and use epstopdf, and i've tried directly using pdfpages. Both times the text is lost when viewing the pdf in Texmaker X and Foxit. I have a feeling it is because the original pdf was generated on a mac, so my pc doesn't recognise the font, but even when I use Inkscape to convert the text to vectors it doesn't work, here's two examples of the code I'm using.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,onecolumn]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage[]{pdfpages}
\textwidth 6.25in
\oddsidemargin 0in
\textheight 650pt
\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}
\voffset -1cm

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includepdf[angle=90]{Workbook11.pdf}
\label{fig:workbook}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

or

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\def\svgwidth{13cm}
\input{Workbook11.pdf_tex}
\caption{blaaaah}
\label{fig:workbook}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Hi,

perhaps add such a PDF file here as attachment to a forum post, so we could test it on out TeX system.

Sure thing, here you are!

I tested it on Windows, and both \includepdf and \includegraphics work and show also the text. I attach an example. Can you see the text in that PDF file? If not, then it's a PDF viewer problem, as I can see the text.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[ht]
 \centering
 \includegraphics[angle=90,width=\textwidth]{Workbook11.pdf}
 \caption{Workbook}
 \label{fig:workbook}
end{figure}

Thanks, it seems that I somehow lost the text in the pdf by trying to convert it to a .pdf_tex with inkscape. WHen I replaced the inkscape pdf with the original and used the code you provided it worked perfectly.
