I’m looking at alternative cross-platform libraries that are smaller in size and could replace Gecko but I haven’t fo…
It is a bug in a sense that it used to work but Manager was using external web-server to generate PDFs back then. This is no longer a case and Manager is generating PDFs internally. And internal PDF generator doesn’t support SVG yet. It shouldn’t be difficult to add support for it though. I will be looking into it sometime this month.

I’m removing this topic from ideas category on the basis that this is related to internal PDF generator which is now obsolete.
There is now new approach which supports SVG.
Starting with version (21.8.51) I’m making ability to generate PDF documents within Manager obsolete. There are now two approaches to create PDFs within Manager.
