Convert PDF to SVG
SVG provides an ideal multi-platform display solution for PDF Documents
Why Convert a PDF to SVG?
Make PDF documents viewable and discoverable on mobile, tablet and Desktop via the Internet.
Cross-platform
SVG display is known for cross-browser compatibility across all modern mobile, tablet, and desktop systems. They offer an excellent solution for scalable images and web graphics.
Zero footprint
All modern devices already include support for SVG. This eliminates the need for additional software or plugins, as the browser displays the format natively.
Tight Integration
SVG content can be integrated directly into Web applications with ease. They can be rendered natively by web browsers and eliminate the need for external PDF viewers.
SEO and Accessibility
SVG content can be indexed on Google and read by screen readers for improved accessibility and user experience. This improves scope for higher ranking on SERPs and helps users with disabilities.
Security
Documents never leave your servers and all access can be authenticated and tracked. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access, keeping sensitive information safe on the user's servers.
Performance
Unlike PDF files, SVG documents can be downloaded page-by-page, ensuring low bandwidth usage. This results in consistent performance without the need to download the entire file.
What PDF features does SVG support?
SVG can display converted PDF content which looks and feels like the original.
Scalable Vector Graphics
Vector elements in PDFs are preserved, allowing for zooming without pixelation. Unlike raster-based formats, SVG redrawing happens entirely inside the browser, reducing the need for additional processing.
SVG Text
PDF text content is converted into real SVG text and makes full use of SVG individual text kerning and spacing adjustments. This makes sure that readability of the text is maintained.
Images
Images are clipped, optimised, and converted into separate web images. User experience is maintained with converted high-resolution images while keeping the file size still manageable.
Fonts
Embedded fonts in PDF become optimized web fonts for online use. The restructured fonts are better suited for browsers as web font render without the need for external dependencies.
Full Color Support
All PDF colours are converted into sRGB, which is the standard for web content and digital display. Accurate conversion ensures consistency, preserving visual integrity and user experience.
Embedding
All content can be BASE64 embedded in a single file (as with PDF files) or kept as separate content. This allows for flexibility and a smoother content management experience.
