BatikServer

Image conversion server for converting SVG documents to pixel based images like PNG, JPEG or PDF.

When online converting SVG-Documents to pixel based image formats like PNG, JPEG or PDF using Batik-Rasterizer of the Apache Batik-Project (http://xml.apache.org/batik) the Java-VM is loaded each time the program is called. This is time consuming and unnecessary.

BatikServer solves this problem. It is 3-6 times faster than calling Batik-Rasterizer for each SVG-Document seperatly because it is running as a service constantly in the background.

BatikServer is written in JAVA. It is multi-threaded so you can convert images in parallel. It has an easy HTTP-like Protocol but it needs to be running on the same machine as the Client (e. g. the Webserver or a Zope-Product like SVGrafZ).

BatikServer runs as a daemon (aka Windows service) in background.
