Cairo (www.cairographics.org) plus a librsvg development version
(librsvg.sourceforge.net) seem be able to produce pdf from svg but i
haven't tried it yet. You also need a bit of code.

I would need to embed some SVG images into a ConTeXt document. 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?
