    Hi,

    I'm a new user to Inkscape migrated from Illustrator, I have edited a PDF file successfully but when I see the exported result in PDF, I notice black corners appear around rounded shapes. (they don't appear when editing in Inkscape)

    here is a screenshot before editing and after exporting:

    when I see the selected shape in the layers panel :

    Any help to fix this ?

    Thanks.

    Can you upload the "before" svg image? There may be filters or masks or clip paths or transforms that won't translate properly to pdf.

    Weird - but easy to fix: just ungroup the particular 6 Groups till the Status bar is saying: "Image ...".

    Maybe it´s easier to draw new elements to stay vector based instead of masked raster images:

    Thank you @Polygon I've ungrouped them and it worked.

    Sometimes I deal with large PDFs is there a way to ungroup everything in the document and not ungroup one by one ?

    Yes there is an Extension->Arrange->Deep Ungroup… for that purpose:
