Turn off the viewing of layer transparent and on the layer bitmap before exporting your PDF. Move this copy to a new layer "Bitmap" next to the layer "Transparent" View only this layer and "Edit > Make a bitmap copy" ( ALT- B) See my post at inkscape forum: ĮDIT: OK, thinking a little more of the problem, there's a better way:Ĭreate a layer "Transparent" at the depth of the transparent objects, move transparent objects to this layer

However, to the best of my knowledge, there is no automatic "robust" way of exporting a scalable PDF with transparencies from inkscape. You can then convert to PDF, but this is not scalable anymore. The easy silly solution is to export bitmap, then the transparencies over solid objects are rendered.

Use Adobe Acrobat or Okular (linux), these can render most of the type of transparencies in my experience (including gradients).

Check that it is not rather your PDF reader that is unable to render transparency.
