Hi there,

in Excel i created a chart, exported that to PDF, transformed the PDF to SVG and right now i am trying to implement that into a book.

When looking at it, it seems to be just fine, but after the PDF conversion with prince it looks very strange (e.g .Black background -> it should be white).

Anyone has an Idea?

Here is the original file.

It is due to this element in the SVG:

<g clip-path="url(#clip2)" clip-rule="nonzero">
<use xlink:href="#image12" mask="url(#mask1)" transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,75,19)"/>
</g>

Prince does not support masks yet, only clip-rules.

Any chance you will implement that in future releases?

It would be good, but it may not be for some time, as we have many other features to implement.

Understand, but you should consider that in future releases. Creating academic books require charts and graphs and still people are very comfortable using Excel.
Anyway. Your software is amazing.
Keep on the good work.

Thanks! We'll keep working to make it better.

We need the masking as well, any news on this feature request?

That will need to wait for improvements to transparency/opacity and filters.
