SVG to RTF?
Hi folks,
We've been using FOP to put a bitmap in a pdf page for printing, but now we are
going to try putting an SVG graphic in the page instead. We have a
prototype/proof of concept working and it is of course higher quality than
the bitmap.
Some users would like to put the image into MS Word documents - perhaps using
windows metafiles... I remember that people were developing an rtf
renderer for FOP. Maybe they could help with converting SVG to a vector
format Word can handle. Maybe its already done. Maybe not.
Any tips on whether this is feasible or whether I am barking up the wrong tree?
Alex

One way is to convert to PDF (using FOP?) and then use pstoedit to
convert it to WMF. Pstoedit even includes an import filter for MS Word.

Maybe Batik (xml.apache.org/batik) does it ?
(Had no time to have a look at it yet)

We're still on our way with the RTF renderer, I've been hoping to release
some code next week for a few weeks now, but we haven't been able to work on
it as much as we'd like...
We have no plans yet regarding images, but hopefully someone can jump in
once we have the basic conversion done - for our current project we're
concentrating on text in tables.
