SVG file format is the most widely used file format if you are working with two dimensional graohics. This file format is highly scalable and offers great quality. However, when it comes to document sharing, printing or archiving, PDF file format is preferred due to its enhanced protable nature. In this article, we will programmatically convert SVG to PDF in Python. For that purpose, we will go with Aspose.CAD for Python via .NET. This CAD SDK is powerful enough to handle SVG to PDF conversion smoothly. So, we will demonstrate the functionality by writing a code sample. Let’s go.
CAD SDK Installation
