NAME¶
pdf2svg - PDF to SVG convertor
SYNOPSIS¶
pdf2svg pdffile svgfile [
page number]
DESCRIPTION¶
pdf2svg is a tiny command-line utility using Cairo and Poppler to convert PDF
documents into SVG files. Multi-page PDF can be split up to one SVG per page
by passing a file naming specification.
The program does not follow the usual GNU command line syntax.
The first argument is the source PDF file, the second argument is the filename
of the output SVG file (or a specification, see below for details).
OPTIONS¶
The third parameter is optional and serves as a page selector. If omitted it
defaults to the first page of the passed PDF. If passed it must be a valid
page label (typically it is a value such as "iii" or "3").
all¶
This special selector causes the program to iterate over all pages in the PDF.
Because it cannot save multiple pages into one single SVG the second parameter
is expected to contain a sensible file specification:
pdf2svg document.pdf output-page%d.svg
all
The usual format modificators work as well:
output-page%02d.svg will give
you output-page00.svg, output-page01.svg, etc.
