Two input files are needed and you should prepare them before you start:

  • SVG file which contains variables in format: %VAR_variable1%, %VAR_variable2%, ...
    • Tip: You can use a visual editor (Inkscape, ...).
  • CSV file which contains variable1, variable2, ... as header and other data in these columns

Then you can run:

s = SvgTemplateToPdf.new(svg_path, csv_path, output_folder = "~", pdf_filename = "output")
s.process

You can also get an array of variables, which are contained in the SVG file:

s.variables
