This relates to Inkscape 0.46 running on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.

It may be related to these bugs:
  Bug #291416: SVG from imported PDF cannot be reopened, characters error
  Bug #297701: Cannot open SVG file that was saved from a PDF opened with "Embed
 Images" option set (duplicate of 291416)
  Bug #297702: Cannot open SVG file that was saved from a PDF opened with "Embed
 Images" option set

        I opened a multi-page pdf in Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0, and then printed
the a single page to a postscript file using the "hp color LaserJet 2550PS (60.3
4.41.0)" driver. Then I used the ps2pdf script of ghostscript 8.54 on OpenBSD 4
.2 to convert the postscript file to a pdf (two-printed-by-reader-then-ps2pdf.pd
f). Back on Windows XP again, the pdf file appears properly in both Inkscape an
d Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0.
        But something went wrong when the pdf file was then saved as an svg (two
-printed-by-reader-then-ps2pdf-then-saved-by-inkscape.svg) by Inkscape. When In
kscape tries to open the resultant svg file, it displays the error message "Fail
ed to load the requested file..." This seems to be the same as bug #291416.
