http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Required_PDF_Support (I know of UberConverter, but PDF is the most important interchange format so we should better support it natively)

bulia, can you explain why this needs to be native? Short of animation and the exact placement of things like transforms in the DOM (if pdf would even allow that) the Chromista hub should express enough of the SVG structure to round-trip PDF conversions as well as anything native.

If it gets implemented natively in inkscape, I would just use that as a hub attached to chromista to get things like xar -> pdf, but going through svg is going to be lossy from that perspective.

Thanks, Eric
