SVG is a frequently used image format during work, and sometimes users need to convert PDF to SVG for better sharing, viewing, or other uses. While most PDF converters like Adobe Acrobat or Foxit PDF editor don’t offer that conversion yet. Just PDF to JPG or PNG is available for now. Therefore, what should you do when facing this issue? No worries, this blog will prepare you with some solutions for converting PDFs to SVGs easily.
2 solutions are listed below for a quick view, steps on using these two will be in the next 2 parts.
1. Use Online PDF to SVG Converters
2. Use PDF Editors & PhotoShop to Make PDF to SVG
1st. Use Online PDF to SVG Converters
This is the fastest way to convert your PDF to SVG. And here’s how you can do it (Use CloudConvert PDF to SVG converter as an example). Follow the steps below to convert PDF to SVG:
Step 1. Open the online converter and add your PDF files. (Multiple files could be added at the same time)
Step 2. After uploading, just click Convert.
Step 3. Download the files after conversion.
This converter would generate a ZIP, so you can open it on your desktop later and get SVG files. Or you can click the Add more Files button to keep converting if you have more than one PDF that needs to be converted.
The second method is for users who need to edit PDFs before the conversion. You can make some adjustments that cannot be fulfilled by online converters.
2nd. Use PDF Editors & PhotoShop to Make PDF to SVG
This part would show you how to edit PDF and then convert it to SVG. ( SwifDoo PDF will be used to present editing and converting features)
Step 1. Open your PDF with a PDF editor.
Step 2. Start your editing.
Tools like SwifDoo PDF prepare you with tools to Edit, Annotate, Convert, adjust PDF Pages, Protect, etc.
Step 3. Save edits and find Convert.
Step 4. Choose convert PDF to Image.
Then complete the conversion and open the image in the PhotoShop since most PDF editors don’t support PDF to SVG. SwifDoo PDF is going to update this feature in the near future, please look forward to it.
In the PhotoShop, you can convert an image to SVG by just following the steps below:
Step 1. Click Files > Export. Then choose Export As.
Step 2. Choose SVG in the Format.
Step 3. Click Export will be all.
An SVG file is generated and you can use it now. After that, you can convert SVG back to JPG/PNG in the PhotoShop if necessary. Just open the SVG file and repeat the steps above and choose the image format you need, since most PDF editors don’t support opening SVG.
Lastly, the drawback of this method is that you can only convert a file at a time. You can still turn an online PDF to SVG converter for help when there are lots of PDFs waiting to be converted.
