Line 36:
Some versions of Inkscape do not have PDF support compiled in; also, text importing does not always produce satisfactory results in Inkscape. In that case, you might try performing the conversion with the PDF2SVG command line tool. (It requires that [[Poppler (software)|Poppler]], [[cairo (graphics)|Cairo]], and [[X_Window_System|X]] are installed on your system.)
 
#Get PDF2SVG from Github [https://github.com/dawbarton/pdf2svg here], additional info [http://www.cityinthesky.co.uk/opensource/pdf2svg/ and compile ithere]. If you are using Windows, Linux or FreeBSD or MacPortsOSX, PDF2SVG might also beis installable via the package installer.
#Convert the PDF with <tt>pdf2svg file.pdf file.svg</tt>, to extract all pages of a multiple page pdf use <tt>pdf2svg file.pdf output-%02d.svg all</tt>
#If necessary use Inkscape to edit the resulting SVG.
