java svg 转pdf,将SVG转换为PDF

How would one go about converting a SVG file to a PDF programatically? (I need to alter the SVG in certain respects before generating the PDF so simply pre-converting it using a tool won't be sufficient.)

Ideally using Java but Perl or PHP would be fine too.

Obviously I am basically considering Apache FOP and Batik with Java. However no matter how long I search I cannot find a simple introduction on how to do it. Things like SVGConverter have descriptions like "Defines the interface for classes that are able to convert part or all of a GraphicContext", but I don't really know what that means.

I have this feeling there must be an API to do this quite simply, provided by FOP or Batik, but I'm just not able to find it at the moment (or perhaps it really doesn't exist.)

In terms of the supported SVG features I need, the file has some paths which are filled with some linear gradients.

Ideally if I could pass the SVG in as a DOM Document that would be ideal; then I would load my template SVG file, change it as specified by the user, and then generate the PDF.

Thanks to Adrian for showing how the Batik rasterizer API is supposed to be used. However, I needed a more lightweight solution--- I can't write to temporary files, and I want fewer dependencies. So, starting from the methods he pointed to, I found a way to access the lower-level code to do the conversion and nothing else.

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import org.apache.batik.transcoder.Transcoder;

import org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderException;

import org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderInput;

import org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderOutput;

import org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder;

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] argv) throws TranscoderException, FileNotFoundException {

Transcoder transcoder = new PDFTranscoder();

TranscoderInput transcoderInput = new TranscoderInput(new FileInputStream(new File("/tmp/test.svg")));

TranscoderOutput transcoderOutput = new TranscoderOutput(new FileOutputStream(new File("/tmp/test.pdf")));

transcoder.transcode(transcoderInput, transcoderOutput);

}

}

The compile-and-run commands are

javac -cp batik-rasterizer.jar -d build Test.java

java -cp build:batik-rasterizer.jar Test

The important point is that TranscoderInput and TranscoderOutput can work with any InputStream and OutputStream, not just file streams. Note that one of the constructors takes a org.w3c.dom.Document, which means that you don't even need to serialize an SVG DOM into an SVG string, saving an additional step.

This version also doesn't write anything to stdout/stderr, unlike the high-level API.

For JPEG, PNG, or TIFF output, replace org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder with org.apache.batik.transcoder.image.JPEGTranscoder, PNGTranscoder, or TIFFTranscoder (note that these raster formats are in a different package).

(I'm not quite sure how Java finds the org.apache.batk.transcoder.* and org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder classes, since I don't see them in the batik-rasterizer.jar.)

Edit:

Although the simple commandline-compilation works with the batik-rasterizer.jar only, it's doing some sort of classloader magic to find all the necessary classes. In a more realistic case (building a project with Ant), you have to find the classes by hand. They can be found in batik-1.7.zip from the Batik project and fop-1.1.zip from the FOP project. From Batik, you need to compile with batik-transcoder.jar and run with

batik-transcoder.jar

batik-anim.jar

batik-awt-util.jar

batik-bridge.jar

batik-css.jar

batik-dom.jar

batik-ext.jar

batik-gvt.jar

batik-parser.jar

batik-script.jar

batik-svg-dom.jar

batik-util.jar

batik-xml.jar

xml-apis-ext.jar

From FOP, you need to compile with fop.jar and run with

fop.jar

avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar

xmlgraphics-commons-1.5.jar
