No, it is not possible to embed SVG into PDF and expect that SVG to render. There used to be a prototype method in Acrobat 6, but that was removed by Adobe in Acrobat 7.

The method used by that Python script is an alternative solution which is more of a "replace PDF with SVG - but use Adobe Reader to view it". That works in Acrobat 8, but not in 8.1 on the Mac and will no longer be supported in the future.

Short answer - don't bother.

I have seen some suggestions in forums that one can convert SVG to PDF using Batik and iText, however is it possible to simply embed the SVG in the PDF using iText?

I believe this is possible using perl/python and Acrobat. However I would rather use iText.
