Re: Getting from SVGs to PDF

We're using FOP ... neither SVG specific content/file reference will
output from the blocks below using the commandline call >fop
[filename].fo > [filename].pdf, but it outputs everything else.

This is the one we'd like to use...
<fo:block>
	<fo:external-graphic xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
src="http://alph43/stepper/chunk/org_chart/org_chart.svg"/>
</fo:block>

We've tried testing this, but it didn't improve matters.
<fo:instream-foreign-object>
	<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100%" height="100%">
	<circle fill="yellow" stroke="black" cx="62" cy="135" r="20"/>
	</svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>

Hi Bob,

What have you tried exactly?
We are using <fo:block> sections like

<fo:block>
        <fo:instream-foreign-object>
                <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="22mm"

<svg:rect width="22mm" height="16mm" x="0px" y="0px"

<svg:text y="22px" x="5px" font-family="AGaramond"

font-weight="bold" font-size="15pt" fill="white"
font-stretch="condensed">ABGB</svg:text>

                </svg:svg>
        </fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>

in our FO files, which are the rendered via XEP.
And it works perfectly...

best regards,
Roman
