![]() This appears to work on any PDF document that Poppler can read (try them in XPDF or Evince since they both use Poppler). Version 0.2.3 is available here (with modifications by Matthew Flaschen and Ed Grace). To overcome this problem I have written a very small utility to convert PDF files to SVG files using Poppler and Cairo. The best vector graphics editor I have found so far is Inkscape but it only reads SVG files… (Edit: recent versions can import PDFs but I’m not entirely happy with how text is imported in particular, that fonts are not imported from the PDF.) I produce lots of these files in my day-to-day work and I would like to be able to edit them. Under Linux there aren’t many freely available vector graphics editors and as far as I know there are none that can edit EPS (encapsulated postscript) and PDF (portable document format) files. I recommend that you use their utility since it is better maintained than mine. ![]() Note: since this utility was written, the maintainers of Poppler have written a utility that works on the same principle: pdftocairo. ![]() ![]() It’s nothing more than a simple wrapper over the top of Poppler and Cairo but it turned out to be quite popular since when it was written there were very few other utilities to do the job! A little program that converges a (page of a) PDF file into a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file which can be opened by Inkscape. ![]()
