Can you check whether the resulting PDF just includes an image of the
SVG (or maybe an image per text segment). I would expect the rasterizer
to do that.
You can achieve what you want using FOP. Then you will get text. There
are some samples in examples/fo/svg of the FOP source. With the current
FOP trunk you can even configure the fonts used in the SVG text so that
they are used instead of letting AWT map them to some system font.

Hi All,
I’m using the SVG Rasterizer to produce PDF files, from SVG files which
contain <text> elements. However, the transcoded PDFs do not contain
embedded text, so they’re not searchable. I can see the outlines of the
text, but I can’t select it or copy and paste it in Acrobat.
How can I produce a PDF with proper text in it?
The input I’m using is just a test file from:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/dev/svg/text.svg
I’m using the latest Batik 1.8pre from the trunk and Oracle
JVM 24.51-b03 on
OS X 10.9.3
Thanks
