Comment on A tool that converts PDFs to SVG, built using PDF.js

Comments

When would one need a SVG version of a PDF instead of just using pdf.js by itself?

I've had several cases where a drawing I want to edit is only available as PDF. There are various ways to convert between the formats (e.g. inkscape) but so far I haven't found one that always works.

Highlight a PDF to copy to inkscape and convert to elements would be pretty damn bad ass.

Now you have alternative to not use PDF (viewer)?
