Unlike other graphic formats, SVG is usually hard to convert to PDF. Existing tools often suffer from the following limitations:
Do not work on all operating systems
Versions for different operating systems have different command-line interfaces
SVG is interpreted incorrectly
Dependencies are difficult to install
Have licencing issues
SVG42PDF is a tool for converting SVG to PDF using existing tools and libraries. Method of conversion can be specified by user, or it can be selected automatically.
