I expect I'm being really stupid, but I have been using the
batik-rasterizer.jar to test the conversion, as follows...
Martin:batik-1.7 martin$ java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar -bg 0.4.12.25
-m application/pdf -d ~/Desktop/processMP.pdf ~/Desktop/processMP.svg
About to transcode 1 SVG file(s)
Converting processMP.svg to /Users/martin/Desktop/processMP.pdf ... ... success
but then, I do this
Martin:batik-1.7 martin$ mv lib/pdf-transcoder.jar lib/pdf-transcoder.jar.old
Martin:batik-1.7 martin$ mv lib/fop-transcoder-allinone.jar
lib/pdf-transcoder.jar
and this happens
Martin:batik-1.7 martin$ java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar -bg 0.4.12.25
-m application/pdf -d ~/Desktop/processMP.pdf ~/Desktop/processMP.svg

Martin:batik-1.7 martin$
Any clue? The batik build.xml doesn't make batik-rasterizer, so I'm
not sure how to progress. If I should be bugging the batik people,
please tell me!
thanks
Martin
