RFC 8118. There are numerous implementations, many open source. Ghostscript, PDF.js for example. What the IETF needs now, however, is a standard for “Archival SVG” that is, to SVG, what PDF/A is to PDF. I had the idea that the bijection SVG --> PDF/A --> SVG would be one way, but Brian reported that the result wasn’t good. -- <https://LarryMasinter.net> https://LarryMasinter.net <https://interlisp.org> https://interlisp.org
