What changes when you convert PDF to SVG
- Every page of the PDF is rendered as a sharp image (150 dpi) and saved as SVG. A single-page PDF gives one SVG file.
- A PDF with several pages gives one SVG image per page, delivered together in a ZIP file (up to 20 pages).
- Pages are drawn on a white background, so the images have a white page color rather than transparency.
- Text and vector drawings in the PDF become pixels, so the result is a picture, not selectable text. Password-protected PDFs cannot be converted.
