  • How to convert SVGs containing text to a PDF?

    I then came up with the genius idea of exporting the PDF using Inkscape and then just edit the text of the PDF, but using lopdf the text is all stacked ontop of each other. How can I simply convert a SVG to PDF using Rust or change the text of a PDF using Rust?

    I copied a lot from lopdf which is a terrific library for PDF parsing. I don't rely on it explicitly as a dependency because there are some things I'm choosing to do differently, but I'd say at least 80% of the parsing logic is the same so it helped me to bootstrap quite a bit.
