Batch script for converting SVG files to PDF using Inkscape

This script will convert all SVG files in the current directory to PDF files using Inkscape. It includes detailed comments to explain each step.

Requirements:

• Inkscape installed: https://inkscape.org/
• Batch file execution enabled on your system

Instructions:

1. Save the following code as a .bat file (e.g., convert_svg_to_pdf.bat) in the directory containing your SVG files.
2. Open a command prompt in the same directory.
3. Run the batch file by typing its name and pressing Enter (e.g., convert_svg_to_pdf.bat).

Explanation:

• The script first checks if Inkscape is installed and retrieves its path.
• You can optionally set an output_folder variable to specify a different destination for the PDF files.
• The for loop iterates through all SVG files in the current directory.
• For each file, the script generates the output filename and calls Inkscape with the appropriate commands:
  • --export-type="pdf" specifies the output format.
  • --export-dpi=300 sets the output resolution to 300 DPI (you can adjust this).
  • "%%a" is the input SVG file.
  • -o "%output_file%" specifies the output PDF file.
• An optional error check is included to identify any conversion failures.
• The script prints a completion message and pauses the window.

Alternative tools:

If you cannot use Inkscape or batch scripting, consider these alternative online tools.

• Dedicated software: Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and other graphics software can also export SVG files to PDF.

I hope this helps!
