sozi2pdf

Sozi is a great presentation editor to turn SVG files (e.g. created with Inkscape) into a html presentation which can be displayed in almost any modern web browser. This is a tool to convert Sozi presentations to a PDF file.

Note that there is another tool sozi-to-pdf which can convert a Sozi presentation to PDF. As of now (June 2016), 'sozi-to-pdf' renders each frame as a PNG image to produce the PDF. Instead, 'sozi2pdf' will produce a PDF with vector graphics. However, it is still experimental and does not yet support presentations with multiple layers.

How to use it?

If the SVG-file is ./presentation.svg and the Sozi JSON file ./presentation.sozi.json, then

./sozi2pdf.py presentation

will produce ./presentation.pdf.

Requirements

• Inkscape
• Python
• PyPDF2

Known problems:

• Presentations with multiple layers are not yet supported.
• Very tiny objects might be missing in the PDF. This is due to a bug described here. As a workaround, scaling of the whole document to increase the size of the tiny objects should help.
