Re: How to make SVG Rasterizer embed text in PDFs?

Can you check whether the resulting PDF just includes an image of the 
SVG (or maybe an image per text segment). I would expect the rasterizer 
to do that.

You can achieve what you want using FOP. Then you will get text. There 
are some samples in examples/fo/svg of the FOP source. With the current 
FOP trunk you can even configure the fonts used in the SVG text so that 
they are used instead of letting AWT map them to some system font.
