The batik svg rasteriser page
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/tools/rasterizer.html
says:
This page describes the features of the SVG Rasterizer utility
that comes with the Batik distribution. The SVG Rasterizer is a
utility that can convert SVG files to a raster format. The tool
can convert individual files or sets of files, making it easy to
convert entire directories of SVG files. The provided formats
are JPEG, PNG and TIFF, however the design allows new formats to
be added easily. In addition, the rasterizer can (despite its
name) transcode to PDF.
I haven't used it at all, but that last sentence is suggestive. Maybe it
fits the bill?
HTH,
Nick
