I have an SVG graphic that I want to put some text on from my PHP variables. The graphic was generated in Illustrator and resizes in my web page to 100% width. Here is a representation of it:
How could this be done for the 8 text items? Does something special need to be done in Illustrator, like creating an anchor point for the text? How do I update the text item? I've done research but haven't been able to find a similar situation.
Thankful for any information that could help me narrow down my search.
Being someone who has never worked with files of .SVG file type before, this was a misunderstanding.
If you design a graphic in Adobe Illustrator, save it as an SVG and edit it with your favorite text editor, you will be able to see the SVG mark-up. It all makes sense now, and here you will be able to change the text at the code-level.
For my application, I saved the SVG as a PHP file and did an include on it, while changing the raw text to PHP variables in said file. This allowed me to pass my dynamic text as variables to the graphic.

i'm building a website and wanted to display a bunch of international (pretty obscure) characters on the splashscreen. out of concern for platform-specific system fonts, instead of typing in those characters as text, i want to embed them as SVGs. does anyone know of an easy way to take the glyphs i'm seeing in my keynote / pdf and convert them to SVGs?
tried a bunch of things - converted keynote to pdf and used several online pdf->svg converters, but that misses some obscure characters and returns a misformatted svg. tried copying and pasting the text into figma and exporting as svg, but figma doesn't render more rare international fonts. i just want to take what i'm seeing on my screen and make those SVGs.
The only thing that occurs to me is to open the fonts or drawings in an editor like Adobe Illustrator or Inskcape and edit them there and download them as svg
he following banner is an example of what i want:

It's automatically generated and contains dynamic text which causes the "background color" to automatically adjust its size to it as well as have a border radius.
The text and shapes are all paths when I look at the source.
I would like to know how this has been accomplished as SVG itself does not support a dynamic border radius and background color by default.
Somewhere in the SVG source of the links above it showsid="surface19" and I did some research to see what piece of software or library provides such ID's. The text also seems to automatically be converted to paths, so it's not a hand-written SVG that gets modified programmatically from what it seems.
I did a lot of research before asking this question.
I've been doing some stuff in Illustrator and I have a problem with saving a project in to SVG file that I open in webbrowser, It just looks different.
And it hapens only in SVG, if I save it to PDF or PNG it looks how it should.
What am I doing wrong?
That's how it looks in Ai
That's how it looks in webbrowser
Here's a link to download rar file with .ai and .svg that I have.
Since all browsers render it the same way, it would seem likely that this is a bug in the AI SVG export filter.
To me it looks like you are applying a blend mode ("Overlay" perhaps?) to the white parts on top of the image. That effect ought to be reproducible using SVG filters, but perhaps AI's exporter doesn't support that yet.
If you are using an "odd" blend mode, try changing it, or reproducing the effect another way.
Individual pixel control needed in identical svg conversion is not possible. SVG creates only specific shapes. The Ai app conversion seems to use opacity to provide the color shades. You could probably tweek opacity and add some svg filters to improve the svg.
Print your design in a . pdf file instead of exporting it directly. Then open the printed .pdf back in Illustrator and export the .svg from this one, it shoud do the trick.
I would like to know, сan GhostScript render pdf on image (such as jpeg) without text? If not, advise the free library for .net, that it will make.
Sorry for my English. Thx!
What do you mean by 'render without text' ? Do you mean that you want all the content of a PDF page rendered to a format which doesn;t contain text (such as JPEG), or do you mean you want all the content of a PDF page except the text rendered, to a file format such as JPEG.
Its possible to elide the text, but its not a command line switch or anything like that, because its pretty hard to see why you want to do this.
If you really do want to do it, then your best bet is to modify the text handling procedures in the PDF interpreter, I would suggest that you don't alter the processing but set the text rendering mode to mode 3 (neither stroke nor fill) to prevent any problems with the current point not being correct.
I've setup a drawing utility with Raphael.js. The user can draw shapes, paths and enter text. Once a user adds text -> Paper.text() to the svg the svg goes into a selectable state. Meaning, if I add text and switch to the pen tool, moving the pen around the svg will cause adjacent dom elements to go into their ::selection state.
So I'd like to convert the text to a path to prevent this from happening. I don't see anything like this in the documentation.
if you use print() instead of text() for text printing, then the text will be a raphael path object. (print() use a cufon javascript font that renders to a raphael path).
Try tweaking the pointer-events property on the text elements with .attr(). none might fit your needs. There are some good background info links on MDN.
.attr({pointer-events: none})
