SVG to PDF using FOP

Hi.
I have used the batik rasterizer.jar to generate pdf files from svg.
I would like to do this using the regular pdftranscoder , that is not using
the batik-rasterizer.
When i look at FOP i see that there are lots of classes which is not found
within my batik project.
FopFactory is one of these.

I guess that the batik implemention wraps the functionality of the
pdftranscoder in some way, but i would very much like to know how i can use
batik to get a pdf.

I tried to add the dependency fop version 0.93 but this seems to depend on
earlier versions of batik.

is ther an easy way to programmatically transcode to pdf without having to
use the rasterizer.jar?

Thanks for helping guys.

Im' not sure if I've understood you correctly. The PDF Transcoder is a
plug-in for Batik. pdf-transcoder.jar (bundled with Batik) is a subset
of Apache FOP. Classes like FopFactory are only used when you convert
XSL-FO to PDF.

If you want to programmatically transcoder SVG files to PDF, please read
the basics about the Transcoder API:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/using/transcoder.html
Then, instead of JPEGTranscoder or PNGTranscoder, instantiate
org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder. The pattern remains the same.

For this, the batik-rasterizer.jar is not needed but some other JARs
from Batik's lib directory are. The alternative is that you download FOP
0.95beta. You've tried 0.93 but that is already a bit old.

I hope that helps.
