====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]], [[X_Window_System|X]] 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 or MacPorts, 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.
