try on your machine
This command is using the software Inkscape to convert a SVG file to a PDF file while also converting any text elements in the SVG file to paths.
Here's a breakdown of the individual parts of the command:
- Inkscape: This is the name of the software being used for the conversion. Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor.
- ${filename-svg}: This is a placeholder for the input SVG filename. You should replace it with the actual name of the SVG file you want to convert. Make sure to include the file extension (.svg).
- -o: This is a command option in Inkscape, indicating that the following argument specifies the output file.
- ${filename-pdf}: This is a placeholder for the output PDF filename. You should replace it with the desired name of the PDF file you want to create. Include the file extension (.pdf).
- --export-text-to-path: This is another command option in Inkscape, instructing the software to convert any text elements in the SVG file to paths. When this option is enabled, text objects become vector shapes rather than editable text.
Overall, this command will take the specified SVG file, convert any text in the file to paths, and save the result as a PDF file with the provided filename.
