public class PDFtoSVGConverter extends org.jpedal.examples.BaseConverter
The main entry point for converting PDF files to SVG.

Examples

The following set of examples demonstrates some of the most common uses of PDFtoSVGConverter

Conversion with IDRViewer

This example includes a fully-featured HTML5 document viewer the converted PDF file is displayed within. This mode is recommended for users who would like a configurable viewer solution with minimal setup.

 
     SVGConversionOptions conversionOptions = new SVGConversionOptions();//Set conversion options here

     IDRViewerOptions viewerOptions = new IDRViewerOptions();//Set viewer options here

     File pdfFile = new File("C:/MyDocument.pdf");
     File outputDir = new File("C:/MyOutputDirectory/");

     //Alternative constructor exists for converting from byte array
     PDFtoSVGConverter converter = new PDFtoSVGConverter(pdfFile, outputDir, conversionOptions, viewerOptions);

     try {
         converter.convert();
     } catch (PdfException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }

Conversion With No Viewer

This example converts PDF files in a simple way that allows the output to be built upon, for example for to build a custom viewer solution around the content or to use within a CMS/ERP system. Also included in the output is a properties.json file that includes information that could help build your viewing solution such as the page count, page bounds, title/author (if set), as well as any bookmarks the PDF file contains.

 
     SVGConversionOptions conversionOptions = new SVGConversionOptions();//Set conversion options here

     ContentOptions contentOptions = new ContentOptions();//Set content options here

     File pdfFile = new File("C:/MyDocument.pdf");
     File outputDir = new File("C:/MyOutputDirectory/");

     //Alternative constructor exists for converting from byte array
     PDFtoSVGConverter converter = new PDFtoSVGConverter(pdfFile, outputDir, conversionOptions, contentOptions);

     try {
         converter.convert();
     } catch (PdfException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }
