Wednesday One Liner

by JS

I just discovered today that Inkscape lets you convert svg files to pdf files. This drastically reduces the amount of rasterization problems I was having. (I’m putting slides together for ICDL 2008.)

Ever see a presentation and wonder how the presenter got such nice looking slides?

PDFLatex + Beamer + Inkscape.

Anyway, I figured out a command line one-liner for turning all my svg files into pdf files:

for file in *.svg; do base=`basename $file .svg`; inkscape --without-gui --file $base.svg  --export-pdf $base.pdf ; done;
