I have a button in my SVG file that calls the following script:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
function makePDF() {
var dom = serializeNode(document.getElementById('printArea'));
dom = dom.replace('onload="init(evt);"','');
var postDataObj = new postXMLData('makePDF.php', dom, madePDF);
postDataObj.postData();
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here my main SVG document has an id of 'print area'.
The current DOM (after the user manipulates it) is copied by the
serializeNode function in line 1. I then remove the onload function (things
are done in init() that are no longer needed) in line 2. I then post the
DOM to a php function that creates a PDF on my server in lines 3 and 4. The
third parameter in line 3 updates a link to the newly created PDF file.
The function serializeNode is:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Serialize node from Martin Honnen - see
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/34646
function serializeNode (node) {
if (typeof XMLSerializer != 'undefined') {
var nodeString = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(node)
return nodeString;
}
else if (typeof node.xml != 'undefined') {
return node.xml;
}
else if (typeof printNode != 'undefined') {
var nodeString = printNode(node);
//IE+ASV does not escape the '&' in a url string that Batik needs for PDF
conversion
var re = new RegExp("&","g")
return nodeString.replace(re,'&');
}
else if (typeof Packages != 'undefined') {
try {
var stringWriter = new java.io.StringWriter();
Packages.org.apache.batik.dom.util.DOMUtilities.writeNode(node,
stringWriter);
return stringWriter.toString();
}
catch (e) {
// might want to handle problem here
return '';
}
}
else {
// might want to handle problem here
alert("No method to serialize node!");
return '';
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PHP file makePDF.php is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
set_time_limit(6000);
$post = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
$numbytes = file_put_contents("xxx.svg",$post);
exec("java.exe -jar -Xmx512m batik-rasterizer.jar -m application/pdf -w 1632
-h 1056 xxx.svg");
exec("move xxx.pdf output.pdf");
echo '<g id="output.pdf?'.time().'" />';
?>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The result is a new file on the server called output.pdf that is a snapshot
of the users display.
I think there is a parameter available in batik-rasterizer.jar to prevent
the onload stuff I eliminated in Line 2 of the first function.

Subject: rasterize on server
OK, I know a lot of people had the same problem, but reading through forums
for 2 days now didn't help me at all.
I have a basic website with a svg embedded. The SVG has some JS in there for
the user to change the svg. I would love to have a button to export the svg
to a JPEG.
I already downloaded the batik package and put it on the server, I just
can't find the right way to call the rasterizer.
Thank you so much.
