===How to convert a PDF to SVG===
 
====Conversion with Inkscape====
 
#Download [[Inkscape]] from [http://www.inkscape.org www.inkscape.org] (version 0.46 and above)
Line 24 ⟶ 26:
#Done! You now have an SVG file with the same name as the PDF, but with the .svg extension
#Upload the SVG and check that it displays properly
 
====Conversion with PDF2SVG====
 
Some versions of Inkscape do not have PDF support compiled in. In that case you might try conversion with the PDF2SVG command line tool. (It depends on [[Poppler (software)|Poppler]] and [[cairo (graphics)|Cairo]] to be installed on your system.)
 
#Get PDF2SVG from http://www.cityinthesky.co.uk/pdf2svg.html and compile it. If you are using Linux or FreeBSD, PDF2SVG might also be installable as a binary via the package installer.
#Convert the PDF with <tt>pdf2svg file.pdf file.svg</tt>
#If necessary use Inkscape to edit the resulting SVG.
