I have done some research on the topic, and the seemingly trivial task seems all but impossible. I found a few solutions, but none of them fits my needs: - I want to have my vector images in vector format (i.e., no Inkscape-to-PNG) - alpha-channel transparency is used in the images, and it should be present in the PDF file, as well (i.e., no Inkscape-to-EPS) - if I used commercial products, I would not use SVG (i.e., the converter should be open source) The images have been (will be) created with Inkscape. While being otherwise a surprisingly nice piece of software, Inkscape does not seem to export PDF for some reason or another (licencing, time, etc.). I have the impression I just ran out of luck. Did I? - Ville
