You could use Apache Batik. Despite its name the "rasterizer" command line tool does not rasterze when the output content type is set to application/pdf, except for areas with filters or transparency, which can't be done in PDF other than by rasterizing. The only shortcomings of Batik's SVG to PDF conversion I've observed so far are that text is rendered as outlines, not selectable, and copiable text, and links are not reproduced in the PDF. ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
