Simple CLI tool that batch converts all SVG files in a directory to PDF files.

It uses [Inkscape's CLI tool](https://inkscape.org/sk/doc/inkscape-man.html) to handle the conversion.

## Installation

```

npm install -g svg2pdf

```

## Basic usage

Convert all SVG's in `icons/` to PDF and put them in `icons-pdf/`:

```

$ svg2pdf icons/ icons-pdf/

```

svg2pdf requires Inkscape's CLI tool. If you're using macOS just download Inkscape and copy it to your Applications directory.

By default it looks for this path: `/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape`

If you have installed [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/en/) somewhere else, use the `--inkscape [path]` flag (see below).

## Other options

You can choose how many threads you want to use (defaults to the amount of CPU cores you have)

```

$ svg2pdf --threads 8 inputFolder/ outputFolder/

```

By default svg2pdf will never overwrite files. If you want it to be destructive:

```

$ svg2pdf --overwrite inputFolder/ outputFolder/

```

If svg2pdf cannot find the Inkscape binary, help it out:

```

$ svg2pdf --inkscape /path/to/your/inkscape/binary/inkscape inputFolder/ outputFolder/

```

You can disable the progress bar (for using it inside automated scripts):

```

$ svg2pdf --no-progress inputFolder/ outputFolder/

```
