Hello everyone, I am having trouble converting a SVG map of the world to PDF and maintaining the original layer structure and layer IDs in the SVG. I did some digging on the forums and didn't see anything, so I hope this hasn't been addressed before. Our goal is to be able to convert SVG maps into a PDF so that they can be imported into Adobe Illustrator. AI can import the SVG directly, but some items are geographically shifted in the wrong place. Since AI doesn't import our SVG maps properly we turned to PDF, which does import correctly. I am using the Batik 1.6 transcoding package and it worked like a charm. The catch is the layer structure and layer ids in the original SVG are not persevered in the PDF. For example, we have a layer for text labels on the map which then has sub layers for street labels, city labels, county label, etc. When I import the PDF into AI the layer structure is completely flattened.
Is this a known limitation of Batik? Does the PDF format even support nested layers in the first place?
