Here is my requirement: 1. I draw some charts and topology diagrams using SVG+ASV plugin on IE browser. User should be able to export/save these SVG images as word/pdf file on their local PC.
2. I need the same #1 above but using SilverLight plugin on IE browser. In summary, I just want the user be able to embed these SVG/SL images into Word/Pdf documents. I was visualizing this as providing an Export type of user interface from the browser. I guess I am little bit clear now! +D --- Jeremias Maerki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 26.07.2007 02:29:40 dave wrote: > > > > apologies for being naive here: > > can someone summarize the steps to convert SVG > into > > Word format? > > Uhm, what do you expect?
