Is it that possible using iText7?

Coincidentally, we're releasing our SVG implementation today. We don't support the full feature set just yet, we're still working on that in Q2 and beyond, but you can use it already. The artifact is on Maven. The repository is on Github. And the documentation is on our public wiki.

Code samples will be put on the web site, but it's a very simple API, similar to how pdfHtml works. There's an SvgConverter utility class that offers multiple ways to convert to PDF or PDF XObjects.

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(
  new PdfWriter(pdfOutputStream, 
    new WriterProperties().setCompressionLevel(0)));
doc.addNewPage();
SvgConverter.drawOnDocument(svg, doc, 1);
doc.close();
