I used this to great effect in one single presentation in early 2013, and at that point I thought I had it all figured out.Īt that point, someone in the LO community started thinking that "SVG embedding" is the same as "SVG import", and so, when inserting an SVG, Libreoffice started trying to interpret the file and convert it to a libreoffice drawing. The feature included all the fancy SVG features like transparency, gradients and blur(!). Libreoffice simply passed the EPS images through, and in print they looked exactly as they should, although LO could only display a low-res preview.Ī little later, around 2012, Libreoffice was, for a short time, able to correctly dspay and print SVG graphics! This relied on an installation of Inkscape on the same machine (or at least the cairo library that comes with it). The reason is that eps is already a postscript format, and the PDF conversion was based on "printing" to a Postscript file, then converting to PDF. However, Libreoffice could not display it properly, only print to postscript printers (most network printers in professional environments) and convert to PDF! at the time this question was asked, the only reliably supported format was eps. Vector graphics support in Libreoffice is a very lively story. Because vector graphics support is a nightmare. If possible, convert your SVG to PDF (or eps) in Inkscape, then open that in GIMP and convert to a very high-resolution PNG without anti-alias (prints better), then embed that in your document. Whether you are interested in producing PDF documents, or HTML documents or paper documents (printed from LibreOffice) can make a big difference. Probably it's only for an intermediate stage. I doubt that successfully using Inkscape SVGs within LibreOffice alone will make you very happy. added an arrow starting in the middle of the line pointing on a control on scrrenshot.

(as tested today), inserting Inkscape (0.92.3) SVGs proved possible in LibreOffice 6.0.6.
