Hi Martin.
I've recently moved over to a Pi4 and use still use ArtWorks for a lot of my
Graphic Design work, and I'd be happy to give the new fixed version a try.
Kind regards,
Gavin

Unfortunately, I do not have a Pi3 to try this myself, but I think I
have an idea what could be causing this problem. Francois and John,
could you please try PDF export on your Pi3 machines with the "Use
compression" option switched off? If my hypothesis is correct, then this
should work. Admittedly, switching off internal PDF compression is not a
good workaround for production use, since it will create huge PDF files.
Can you also try PDF *import* please? Any simple PDF file should do. If
my hypothesis is correct, then this should go wrong on the Pi3, too.
I confirme your intuition. When disabling compression, export to pdf
works. "Import" from PDF loops endlessly until forced to stop with
Alt-Break.
Hope you will issue a fix soon.
It was not exactly soon, not even by RISC OS standards, but I have finally
managed to sort out both PDF export and import on the Pi3, and there will be
an updated version of ArtWorks this month that works correctly on the Pi3.
This should also work on the Pi4, but the latest hardware I have got is a
Pi3 (thanks to Richard Brown of GeneSys!). So, is anyone using ArtWorks 2.X3
on a Pi4? I would be grateful for a volunteer who could give the fixed
version a try.
Regards,
Martin
