Converting PDFs (without background) to svg with mutool #220

Closed povpie closed 1 year ago

On my workflow I need to remove the background from the pdf before converting it to svg(with mutool).

Issue: on some PDFs the removal of the background makes the conversion become very messed when there is a curved text on the pdf. The problem don't seem to show up on straight text.

I attach below the pdf with background and the one without. (with background) complex3.pdf

Thanks for reporting the issue. It's a bug in dvisvgm's new PDF handler. I've fixed it and am going to commit the patch shortly.
