I think we should probably provide a npm cli tool to help users generate SVG files in command line.
Erik, do you need a tool to generate PDF containing ECharts charts? If you need something else like annotation, this may be not easy to do. But if you only need charts and chart descriptions, I think it is possible to provide such PDF generation tool.
