将 SVG 包含到 LaTeX 中

Question

I want to include a svg file in a LaTeX document.

a.svg (given)

a.pdf (goal)

I created the table with OpenOffice, exported it to a pdf-file, imported it into inkscape afterwards and saved it as an svg file.

What I have tried

Include svg directly

I tried to include the given svg file directly using the svg package :

\usepackage{svg}
...
\includesvg{img/a}

But it did not compile, because pdflatex did not found the file a. I also tried a.svg but without any success :(

Exporting to pdf "on the fly"

Following J. Engelen I tried to generate the pdf file using pdflatex with -enable-write18 or --shell-escape but it didn't do anything with the .svg file except throwing an error, that the .pdf_tex file is missing.

Export to pdf / pdf_tex before including

I exported the svg file using inkscape v. 0.92:

inkscape -D -z --file=a.svg --export-pdf=a.pdf --export-latex

I got a .pdf file containing the blank table: And a .pdf_tex file containing the following:

%% Creator: Inkscape inkscape 0.92.1, www.inkscape.org

I used this file within LaTeX like the following:

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \def\svgwidth{\textwidth}
    \input{a.pdf_tex}    
\end{figure}

The resulting .pdf file from my LaTeX file looks like that:

As one can see, the italic font style is everything, inkscape exported. The font color is not exported at all.

The LaTeX font size of the index values should be \\tiny . Of course I can change the font style manually, but this does not seem like a proper way to me.

Also, the boxes around the index values behave like the following, when I try to resize them using \\tiny :

Does anyone knows, how to proper import svg files, containing text into a LaTeX document while preserving all the font styles and colors and of course the positioning?

Sincerely

Answer 1

Strange, the approach you used works perfectly for me, however I get a different pdf_tex file from conversion.

b.pdf_tex

Which results in:

My Inkscape version is

Answer 2

I realize that this thread is 4 + years old but since I found my way here maybe someone else will.

The syntax inkscape -D -z etc.. is deprecated for newer versions of inkscape and got replaced by:

inkscape --export-filename=yourpdfoutput.pdf yoursvginput.svg

For more details see the man-page for inkscape.
