It occurred to me that for presentation purposes, it would be very handy to be able to generate one PDF file from a set of SVG's. Anyone know of a mechanism for doing this?

Kinda.. I got something okay, but I think that it needs revision. Here's what I did:

1) Made postscript files of all the svgs using 'inkscape --print="> <filename>.ps" <filename>'

2) Concatenated the Postscript files together 'cat *ps > myfile'

3) Ran ps2ps on that file 'ps2ps myfile myfile2'

4) Ran ps2pdf on that 'ps2pdf myfile2 final.pdf'

For some reason the PDF is on portrait size paper instead of landscape, I was never able to fix that -- I think there must be a parameter to pass to ps2pdf for this... (the Postscript files look fine)

What I was thinking I might look into is trying to write a Scribus script that would import a directory of SVGs onto different pages of a Scribus document. If someone has used Scribus scripting more and could comment that would be cool.
