--- Comment #2 from Eduard Braun <eduard.bra...@gmx.de> ---
There is currently a request on German Wikipedia for such a feature, that's how
I got to the idea
(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Diskussion:WikiProjekt_SVG#PDF-Exportm.C3.B6glichkeit_f.C3.BCr_SVG-Dateien).

Personally I initially thought, that the feature wasn't needed, too (it's
simple to convert the file yourself if you need to)

Now I think there could actually be some demand for it:
* It's hard to import SVG into many widely used third party programs (e.g.
OpenOffice, PowerPoint, etc.) therefore most people currently probably use a
prerendered PNG versions loosing quality.
* A common Windows installation isn't equipped with a software able to display
(except Internet Explorer) or even edit SVG files. Therefore many people don't
now how to use SVG whereas PDF is a common format nowadays.
* Finally it seems like a feature to come "for free", since everything to
convert SVG to PNG is already there and conversion to PDF would only need a
small change in the command line call.
