I'm also surprised Blogger doesn't provide a way to upload and insert SVG; I think most browsers now support it.Paul A.

I loaded one of my PDF images into Inkscape, wrote it out as SVG, and the file was on the order of 50KB rather than 8MB. Unfortunately, GDocs won't import SVG graphics (it's been requested by others) and Blogger doesn't believe SVG files qualify as graphics, so I would have to host it on a third party server and use an iframe to display it. (Can't host it on GDocs, either -- the sharing link embeds an entire GDocs page, not just the image itself.)Paul A.

Unfortunately, embedding a PDF in an iframe doesn't seem to work, and I don't see a way to upload a PDF image and get Google to convert it to a drawing. I've uploaded an 8 MB SVG file to GDocs, but no joy viewing it. Maybe just as well; a bunch of diagrams that size would eat up my free GDocs space fairly quickly.<br /><br />I could probably draw the diagrams in the GDocs drawing app, but I'm used to TiKZ. For other people, though, I suspect that creating the drawing in GDocs (if it's a diagram and not a function plot) might be the path of least resistance. For scalable function plots, I think we're probably back to PDF.Paul A.
