  • I'd like to suggest looking at Xpdf or ghostview as possible bases to build a pdftosvg tool with. They both come with command line tools to convert pdf files to other formats. - Ulf Erikson
    • This is what we do currently iirc - Bryce
    • Uh, okay. I must have missed that. What tool do you use? I know about pdf2svg, ill2svg and ai2svg. Neither seem to be based on a pdf reader/viewer. I have never tried the (Windows only?) SVG plugin for pstoedit and the ps2svg SVG driver for Ghostscript doesn't seem to be available at all. Anyway, I see now that you list Poppler (which a pdf library based on Xpdf) as something worth looking at, so I guess you can remove my comment all together. Let me know if you wish to try my Xpdf code with Poppler. - Ulf (Could we not use the mailing list for discussions?)
