How to keep hyperlinks when transforming an SVG into a PDF ?

[Xavier Loiseau]

Hi,


Here is a simple SVG file containing a rectangle with a hyperlink:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg
    xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
    version="1.0"
    width="1000"
    height="1000">
    <g>
        <a xlink:href="http://www.google.com";>
            <rect width="100" height="100" x="100" y="100"/>
        </a>
    </g>
</svg>


This SVG file is transformed into a PDF file as follows:
java -jar batik-1.7/batik-rasterizer.jar -m application/pdf sample.svg


When the resulting PDF file is viewed, the hyperlink does not work !
