I'm just starting to mess around with Batik and so far things look good for what I want to do. But I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I'm going to be creating an SVG with Adobe Illustrator and I would like to filter that SVG through the Batik rasterizer to create a jpeg. That's the easy part.
The hard part is that before the SVG gets converted I need to replace some of the text strings with info from a database. I see that Illustrator has the ability to define variables and the variable info can be exported to the SVG, but my question is... is there anything built in to Batik that will read that info and do the variable substitution?
The other option I was thinking about is to just not worry about the Illustrator variables and come up with my own way of substituting the data, but I'd like to know if anyone has tried this before. Or is there anything in Batik (or another java library) that will do the same thing?
The key to this is that a majority of the data is going to be a table of info, so I would need a way to replace each row of the table with the correct information.
So... can anyone give me any suggestions for how to do this?
Thanks!
