Bob,

More than one XSL-FO processor does a commendable job of converting SVGs into PDFs. The way I commonly do it is by including or referring to the SVG in a little XML file, which I transform via XSL into FO and feed to the formatting engine. If your incantations are correct, a beautiful PDF with a vector graphic comes out.

I've done this successfully with the RenderX XEP engine, but I think others advertise the feature as well. Indeed, the free FOP engine from Apache can use Apache's own Batik processor to do this.

This being an XSL solution, it's very much on topic.

Cheers,
Wendell

My problem with attribute matching earlier this month was related to
pulling text info from one XML file into an SVG file as it is
transformed into another SVG file. So far so good. It all displays
very nicely, but we're having a dickens of a time getting it changed
into a sharp resolution PDF. We 'draw' our SVGs in text, so we don't
have the boon of PDF-export from Adobe Illustrator or GIMP.

Advice, pointers, links (and warranted slaps) welcome.
