Hi,
I use inkscape in a image processing script in batch mode where I want to export svg graphics to PDF. Now I want to move this within a web application. Inkscape has a lot of dependences to other packages and libraries and thus is less suitable to install on a web server.
Is there are lightweight alternative to convert svg or ai to pdf?
Does inkscape use other libs or tools to export to pdf? maybe cairo?
Any ideas are appreciated. thanks!
best regards, knut
What about https://cloudconvert.org/svg-to-pdf ?
They provide an API for you. A cursory glance at the code shows it to be fairly complete?
Disclaimer: I have never used this service.
Hope this helps.

I've had great success in a very similar scenario with PhantomJS, which is a headless, scriptable, build of webkit. Basically zero dependencies, and they provide ready-to-run binaries for Windows, OS X, and Linux: https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/blob/master/examples/rasterize.js
