GdPicture Imaging Forums

I would like to convert PDF file to SVG file. I wonder if the Vector and Text information in PDF file will be preserved in SVG file? Or everything in PDF file are rasterized in SVG file? Thanks!

Hi there,

Thank you for your question.

Regarding text information being preserves, if the input PDF is searchable then the output SVG file will not be searchable and any text information will still be visible on the document, but not selectable on the document.
The PDF is rasterized in the output SVG file.

If you have any other questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you very much for your information! That is very helpful for me to understand how GdPicture works

Hi there,

I apologize for my previous answer as it was not accurate enough.
When converting from PDF to SVG, the Vector content is converted to SVG vector content so this information is preserved.

The text on your PDF will be saved as scalable vector.

I hope this clarifies the features we provide within the conversion to SVG format.

If you need any further information do not hesitate to let me know.
