Hi,

PrinceXML does seem to have a problem with fills and hidden elements (display="none"). Please see the attached graphics and the PDF output.

We are using Prince 8.0.

Thanks,

Henning

Prince 8.1 will support "display: none" and "visibility: hidden" for SVG elements. We are just creating the release packages now.

Thanks for releasing Prince 8.1! I just installed it. Unfortunately it fails to convert the SVG graphic that contains hidden layers (Prince 8.0 converts it but shows the hidden layers as explained above).

Here is the output from Prince 8.1:

Unfortunately it seems that there is a bug in the new support for the <clipPath> element, when it contains <use> elements. If the clipPath is commented out or if the elements that it uses are moved into it as children then the file should convert correctly. Hopefully we can fix this problem shortly.

We have fixed this issue in Prince 8.1 rev 2, and updated packages are now available for Windows, MacOS X, and Ubuntu.

Thanks for fixing this issue!

Henning
