Installation

Easiest way to install is to use pip:

`pip install -e git://github.com/JeanFred/SVGlayers2pdf.git#egg=SVGLayers2pdf`

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install it using setuptools: python setup.py install

This will install in /usr/local/bin/ the executable entry-point svglayers2pdf

Dependencies

SVGlayers2pdf makes use of:

  • argparse (built-in with Python 2.7)
  • lxml, to parse the SVG XML tree
  • pyPdf, to join the individual PDFs into one
  • Inkscape, using system calls, to generate PDF from SVG

All Python dependencies should be resolved at installation time.
