I can see what the pdf version looks like in a pdf viewer, but when I try to open up the same file or the corresponding svg file in Inkscape, there's a lot of colors and details missing. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Its also possible there could be a conflict between inline styles / styles and inline non style attributes.

Was this PDF made with Inkscape?
The ability of Inkscape to handle PDF is very limited especially when those PDF are generated by Adobe products...
