+# PrintSvg2Pdf
+
+A simple bash script to print an svg to pdf without extra margins using headless chrome.
+
+## How to use
+In the file `printSvg2Pdf.sh` set the following variables:
+
+* `chrome_executable` to point to the path of your chrome executable.
+* `template_file` to point to the path of the file `template.html`, included into the repository.
+
+Then simply:
+
+```
+bash printSvg2Pdf.sh input_file.svg output_file.pdf
+```
+
+## What it does
+
+`template.html` with an object tag where your image will be referenced in an `object` tag. It has some css to remove all margins, and with javascript it sets the style attribute `@page` to fit exactly the size of the image.
+
+## Acknowledgements
