Inkscape - Exporting the file to pdf gives empty pdf file (SVG file included)
By John Campbell •
When I export the following pdf file on Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11) and Ubuntu 18.10, I get an empty pdf file.
The SVG file is here. On pastebin because it is ~1200 lines, but looks very minimal in a viewer.
Please tell me if this is an unreported bug.

This looks like bug #1768444: SVG exports as blank PDF.
The problem (as described in the bug) is that your SVG uses an invalid transformation matrix. There are two transformation matrices (in the attribute transform) that start with four zeros, which means they are not invertible. The first is:
<g aria-hidden="true" transform="matrix(0,0,0,0,-66.872582,178.2141)" syle="fill:currentColor;stroke:currentColor;stroke-width:0">Note the four leading zeroes.
Unfortunately, the bug is still open, so no solution right now.
