Research direction

Start by reading pdfinvert.rb and reproducing its conversion command with the affected Inkscape version. Compare the script's current options with the reported --export-type and --export-filename form, then verify whether the resulting PDF output works as expected. Done means establishing a compatible conversion path or documenting why Inkscape is unsuitable.

Description

Hello, apparently, the command-line options for inkscape have changed so that pdfinvert.rb no longer works.
Can you verify this?

One could try to do it with
inkscape --export-type=<TYPE> --export-filename=<OUTPUTFILE> <INPUTFILE>
but it did not yield satisfactory results for me.
Perhaps inkscape might not be the best converter after all, but I don't know...
