Re: converting SVG

Have you looked at rsvg=C2=A0 (= http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/= )?

I am not sure if it uses vector for pdf, but it might be wort= h a try?

Cheers,

=C2=A0

1. Prince (http://ww= w.princexml.com) does SVG to PDF as vector graphics from the command li= ne, very nicely. Too bad it's proprietary.

e.g.

: prince drawing.svg drawing.pdf

2. Ask Inkscape -- it's free software; unfortunately, the result is ras= terized.

e.g.

: inkscape --without-gui --export-text-to-path --export-eps=3Ddrawing.eps d= rawing.svg

>From a sample 52 KB SVG file, Inkscape gives me a 420 KB EPS and Prince a 2= 0 KB PDF.

Cheers,
Christian

I'll check it, but I'm afraid it does render SVG as bitmap first, and then "converts", or rather encapsulates, it to EPS/PDF. Image= Magick
is a bitmap manipulation tool after all.

Very true. =C2=A0For presentations, this may not be that much of an issue (given the resolution of many data projectors)... but it's a very valid=
point.

Do let us know if you find a vector based converter.

Thanks,
