.SH NAME
.PP
pdf2baresvg - PDF to bare SVG convertor
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\f[B]pdf2baresvg\f[R] pdffile svgfile [page number]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\f[B]pdf2baresvg\f[R] launches the command pdf2svg and simplifies its
output.
.PP
pdf2svg is a tiny command-line utility using Cairo and Poppler to
convert PDF documents into SVG files.
Its ouput is a standalone SVG file which comes with an XML header.
.PP
In some cases, the XML header is not useful; for instance when one wants
to embed the SVG output as an element in some HTML page.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\f[B][some page label]\f[R]
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
\[lq]iii\[rq] or \[lq]3\[rq]).
.TP
\f[B]all\f[R]
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:
\f[B]pdf2baresvg\f[R] document.pdf output-page%d.svg all
This selector is not encouraged for use with \f[B]pdf2baresvg\f[R] since
the XML header will not be removed from output files.
.TP
\f[B]-h\f[R] or \f[B]--help\f[R]
Show this message and exit.
