# SVG To PDF

Converts SVG file to PDF format.

## Instruction

Converts an SVG file to PDF format.

## Usings

```csharp
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs;
```

## Code Snippet

```csharp
float dpi = 150;

using (var reader = new SvgReader("Seal.svg", dpi, dpi))
using (var writer = new PdfWriter("Seal_out.pdf"))
using (var gr = writer.GetGraphics())
{
    writer.AddPage(reader.Width, reader.Height, dpi, dpi);
    using (var container = reader.GetContent())
    {
        gr.DrawContainer(container, 0, 0);
    }
}
```

## Explanation

The following code:

- Loads an SVG file using a specified DPI setting for scaling.
- Initializes a `PdfWriter` and adds a page with dimensions and DPI matching the SVG.
- Extracts the vector content from the SVG using `GetContent()` and draws it into the PDF graphics context.
- Saves the result as a PDF file.
