is it still better than Inkscape? #15

It depends on what you are trying to achieve. Often Inkscape does a good job but on some PDFs I still use pdf2svg. That said the number of times I need it are getting fewer.

i need to convert ordinary webpage which on pdf to svg HtmlToPdf.pdf

but pdf2svg has no updates long time,

what's your experiences with mupdf.com if your have it?

dawbarton commented 7 years ago

pdf2svg hasn't been updated for a long time simply because it doesn't need to be; it's just a thin wrapper over two libraries. The underlying libraries (poppler and cairo) are both being updated continually and the updates there are brought in just by recompiling with updated versions of those libraries.

I don't know anything about mupdf unfortunately.

I've just done some tests with it and the conversion speeds are impressive. A file that takes Inkscape around 2,5 minutes finishes in 2 seconds.

pdf2svg output filesize is a bigger than inkscape's output. around 20% in my tests.
