I think the point is how do you integrate the images from the SVG source
into the documentation output.  Presumably that won't be PDF, for
example the HTML output will not use a PDF as an image embedded in the
page.  It probably works ok for the PDF output (of the whole
documentation) to use the PDF of the image ... I suppose the HTML output
will need a PNG or such.


If the source is SVG, why not just use SVG? SVG support in browsers has to be pushing 10 years now, shouldn't be a problem at all...  And SVG can be embedded in the HTML itself (whether that would work in this particular case I don't know, but in theory it can)
