I've recently found the batik and the VectorGraphics package from the freehep libraries <url:http://java.freehep.org/vectorgraphics/index.html> which mostly do exactly what I need; to load an SVG document and convert it to another vector graphics format (.cgm or .pdf).
if you just want to convert from svg to pdf, you can use the PDFTranscoder from the fop project together with the batik rasterizer. There are some limitations however, since PDF does not support all SVG features.
The primary conversion target is CGM, but I also convert to PDF so that I can see the results (I don't have a CGM-viewer here). And I figured that since the procedure for converting to a CGM is practically identical to PDF I can use the PDF converter for testing, but will need to use the CGM converter for the final conversion.
