As a workaround you can right click onto the page and then select "Insert File".

No issues here. What version of ghostscript do you have installed?

Right click and "paste file" has same effect on ps and pdf, but will accept svg.
All samples are of same file as produced by inkscape in all three formats.

Then it looks for me like a problem with ghostscript. Can you upload a small sample pdf or ps file?
BTW which version of Inkscape are you using?

I use 1.3.8 and 1.5.0. My ghostscript is 8.7.0 The bug relates to 1.5.0.

A (large) sample file is here:

When an svg file from Inkscape is imported the images show but the text has overlaps and other artifacts. When the original pdf file from customer is imported
the graphics disappear and only large type is shown, and it is in outline.

I am now up to the Scribus 1.5.0 dated October 24 2010.

John, you mention SVG.. this bug is NOT about SVG. SVG issues could (and probably do) relate solely to the SVG importer code. Its unrelated to PDF and PS code.

Hey John,
This seems to be fixed. I'm using 1.5svn r19309 on OSX 10.8.5

Does this issue still persist for you or can it be closed?
