[Noisebridge-discuss] SVG + PNG = PDF?

[Wladyslaw Zbikowski]

Hey Rubin, one module I've had good luck with is PDF::Reuse in Perl.
You can use ImageMagick to convert the pngs and SVG to PDFs and then
run them through a script like this attached. I gave this a try but it
did not handle transparency, so maybe there is some convert
ImageMagick flags to preserve alpha channels or something.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use PDF::Reuse;

my $help = "Usage: $0 infile.pdf outfile.pdf overlay.pdf pages";
my $INFILE = shift @ARGV || die $help;
my $outfile = shift @ARGV || die $help;
my $svg = shift @ARGV || die $help;
my $pages = shift @ARGV || die $help;

prFile($outfile);
prMbox(0, 0, 612, 792);

for my $i (0 .. $pages-2) {
   prForm( { file => $INFILE, page => $i} );
   prForm( { file => $svg, page => 1} );
   prPage();
}
prForm( { file => $INFILE, page => $pages-1} );
prForm( { file => $svg, page => 1} );
prEnd();
