Support direct SVG->PDF conversion with Inkscape #102

Closed shiblon closed 8 years ago

shiblon commented 8 years ago

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 89

Inkscape has native PDF support, so there's no need to do the SVG->PDF conversion via
EPS. This is especially bad on my system which has no epstopdf (I have no root access
here).

This patch solves the problem for me. I tried to make it as general as possible so it
would be nice if you could apply it to mainline.

Give r055b96309761 a whirl and see how you like it.  I didn't include the option to
export text to paths because I wasn't sure you always want that.  Are there cases where
you would want it represented as text in the pdf?  E.g., if you had a placeholder for
a mathematical equation and used something to rewrite it to look like the rest of LaTeX?
 This used to be possible with psfrag and the latex-dvi-ps2pdf chain.  I don't know
if there is something similar for pdflatex.

...and as soon as I hear that you are satisfied, I'll push a new package :)
