>From the IPE manual:

File format.
First of all, the file format of Ipe 7 is different, and Ipe 7 cannot open files created by Ipe 6. To reuse an Ipe 6 document in EPS or PDF format, you first need to run the new tool "ipeextract", which will extract the XML stream inside the document and save it as an XML file. An Ipe 6 XML document can then be converted to Ipe 7 format using "ipe6upgrade".

If your figure is figure.pdf, then the command

ipeextract figure.pdf

will save the XML stream as figure.xml. Then run

ipe6upgrade figure.xml

which will save your document in Ipe 7 format as figure.ipe. All contents of the original document should have been preserved.
