--> You picked the wrong plug-in. Please install the plug-in called "Apache Batik image toolkit plug-in". Other that that, there is nothing special to do. This should allow you to view and convert documents containing SVG graphics. --> Downloading and installing add-ons must be done from within XMLmind XML Editor using menu item "Options|Install Add-ons". See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.app.part.InstallAddonsDialog.html The "Install Add-ons" dialog box allows you to read a short documentation before actually installing the add-on. Please take the time to do that. The documentation of the Jimi image toolkit plug-in says: --- Jimi 1.0 adds to XXE the support of many image formats including TIFF and BMP. ... --- The documentation of the Batik image toolkit plug-in says: --- Batik 1.7 adds to XXE the support of SVG graphics. ... --- --> There is no ready-to-use plug-in for the PDF. However, an external command-line tool such as Ghostscript (supports both PostScript and PDF) may be converted to an image toolkit plug-in by the means of a declaration similar to this one: Excerpts of my own ~/.xxe4/addon/sample_customize_xxe/imagetoolkits.incl --- <imageToolkit name="Ghostscript"> <description>Converts EPS and PDF graphics to PNG. Important: requires Ghostscript 8+.</description> <converter> <input extensions="eps epsf ps pdf" magicStrings="%!PS %PDF"/> <output extensions="png"/> <shell command='gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dEPSCrop %A "-sOutputFile=%O" "%I"' platform="Unix"/> <shell command='gswin32c -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dEPSCrop %A "-sOutputFile=%O" "%I"' platform="Windows"/> </converter> </imageToolkit> --- If you are willing to install and use Ghostscript (http://www.ghostscript.com/), if you don't find all this too complicated and if you are a customer of XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition, I can explain how to proceed step by step.
