and ctrl-c ctrl-x ctrl-v result in no visible change. Neither are any svg files produced

Hello. Below are the few things you may want to check.

• Does your Emacs show the inline images in other formats like PNG or SVG?
• Does pdf2svg command work and exist in a path that Emacs knows?
• Is org-inline-pdf-mode ON in the buffer? What happens if you manually do M-x org-inline-pdf-mode?

Update 2: all previous errors were caused by a botched startup file. Using vanilla 28.2

• png shows as expected
• svg shows as expected
• pdf show as expected
• pdf2svg works as expected

It appears that scimax modifies some of the org-image code in such a way that svg generation breaks

@uliw Thank you for the info.

I confirmed the conflict with scimax. It seems scimax completely replaces org-display-inline-images with its own function and thus org-inline-pdf's function is not called when scimax is loaded. This might be solved by changing the way org-inline-pdf adds its advice but I haven't tested it yet.

So my understanding is for now you can make org-inline-pdf work by doing M-x scimax-toggle-image-advice correct? I haven't used scimax and I don't know what scimax features it would disable though.

[uliw]

yes, correct. Toggling climax-toggle-image-advice allows the inlining of pdfs. I'll chat with the author of scimax (a collection of tools for scientific writing)

@uliw Thank you, I will mention the conflict with scimax in the README for now.

scimax-toggle-image-advice is a rarely used function, so save to have this default to nil in order to be compatible.
