SVG tags are not rendered

    OK boys and girls. I really love this plugin, and use it in a project of mine. however, I have run into problems after an update, where the PDF no longer renders SVG-images I have in my code. Now, when I say SVG-images, I mean <svg>-tags – not <img>-tags. Instead of just the rendered graphic, I end up with just any plain text inside the graphic.
    Of course in the preview, everything is dandy, so something must be happening when it renders into PDF.

    I think the problem lies in the dompdf, but really I can use any help you guys can give.

    Anyone else run into this, or know how to update DOMPDF to enhance the support for SVG?

    DOMPDF doesn’t support SVG as far as i know. Sorry. Nothing we can do here 🙁

    Hey Antti, yeah, been reading myself in on this. Can’t wait until they release their new version though. It apparently will have svg support.

    As a work around though, I was wondering if it is possible to maybe render the SVG and convert it via javascript to a PNG? I am working with data-uri, and not physical files.

    Or would I have to render the files on the server, as I have a feeling dompdf won’t run javascript.

    What do you think, as a stab in the dark?

    Javascript won’t work. You would need to pre-render the svg to a png file on the server side.

    Feel free to implement it as a filter to this plugin and give me a PR on GitHub. 🙂

    Hope we’ll get a better DomPDF soon

    Ignore that previous message, yup, will have to find a way to render the svg as a PNG file on the server side. Hope you don’t mind if I post my findings here for reference?
