Convert SVG to PDF — svg_to

Convert an SVG string or SVG file path to a vector PDF. As with svg_to_png(), the SVG is sanitized and the required WOFF2 fonts are embedded (downloaded on demand into a user cache) so text renders consistently. Conversion uses rsvg (rsvg::rsvg_pdf()), preserving vector text.

For headless-Chrome rendering (often best for web fonts), see svg_to_pdf_chrome().

Usage

svg_to_pdf(svg_input, output_path = NULL, width = NULL, height = NULL)

Arguments

svg_input: SVG string or path to an SVG file.
output_path: Output path for the PDF file (optional; a temp file is used if NULL).
width: Output width in pixels (NULL to infer from the SVG).
height: Output height in pixels (NULL to infer from the SVG).

Value

Path to the generated PDF file.

Examples

if (requireNamespace("rsvg", quietly = TRUE)) {
  svg <- svg_card("FAR", list(), list())
  file_name <- tempfile(fileext = ".pdf")
  pdf_path <- svg_to_pdf(svg, file_name)
}
