PS svg versions will be useful for preparing pdf versions of docs - png don't seem to render as well with RenderX, the preferred tool. This can easily be done with Inkscape I believe.
I don't know what you mean by, "This can easily be done with Inkscape I believe." I know one issue with mis-rendering of bitmap graphics in pdfs is using an inappropriate pixel width image. If it has to be expanded by RenderX you'll get bad jaggies and if it needs to be scales smaller, you'll get aliasing issues. From the svg you can generate the same pixel width that the pdf will use. (It can be calculated if you know the right stuff, or trial and error will do as well.) Of course you can just use the svg since it scales without those sorts of problems. You need to open the svg file in an editor, such as inkscape, and turn on the visibility of the layer with the added text desired, and turn off the visibility of the others, since all of them are combined in one svg. Similarly, you need to turn on the visibility of either a clear (alpha) background, or a white background. The alpha background exists (even though you don't see it), to make the image the same size as with the white background. They're each rectangles. If you want, you don't even need a svg editor, since svg is an xml file. You can find the appropriate layers with vi or emacs and change the first style after the label that names the background or text to either display:none, to hide, or display:inline, to show. The label of the pertinent layers are "Powered By" (not the text itself, I just chose a layer label that reminded you of the layer's purpose), "Proposed For" (which I think is going away), and "For Use With". The label of the layers for the alternate backgrounds are "Alpha Background", and "White Background". Patrick
