Creating a vector object from SVG text

[Patrick Plaatje <pa...@ipros.nl>]

Hi All,

i'm not sure if i should post my question here or on the Batik list, but 
my question is the following: i have an xsl-fo document, in which i'm 
including an svg image. This SVG holds some text. No problem so far. 
When i render this xsl-fo into PDF for example, and i open this newly 
created document, the text is still text and hasn;t been converted to 
outlines. Does anyone knows how to achieve this. in the final result i 
need a PDF or EPS where the text is rendered into a vector layer/image 
instead of a text layer.

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

Rendering Text as text is usually preferred as it is more efficient. 
However, there is a configuration option to override the default 
behaviour and only SVG text to be rendered using shapes instead. The 
configuration element is <stroke-text> and I believe it has to be placed 
as a child of the xml-handler element below the PDF Renderer 
configuration element. You need to set stroke-text option to true to 
achieve the desired affect.

Thanks,

Chris
