Q: we have been testing the DEMO versions of your products and are
very impressed so far.
The Python bindings in PDFNet SDK are really nice...
Please allow me to ask some questions:
1. Does the PDFnet SDK Convert Add-On include all capabilities of
PDF2SVG?
(I assume not...)
2. We have some small character positioning issues with PDF2SVG. The
documentation states:
"The full version of PDF2SVG does not use absolute positioning for
each character"
How does this affect the precision of the text flow. We are planning
to license PDF2SVG for eBook production and we need to know exact
output quality in advance.
Alternatively we could send you some of our PDFs so you could create
some demo conversions with the full version.

A: At the moment 'pdftron.PDF.Convert.ToSvg()' does not come with all
the options in PDF2SVG CLI, however we could easily expose extra
options if they are needed in your application.
"2. We have some small character positioning issues with PDF2SVG."
For testing I would suggest using PDF2SVG CLI. If this works it will
be easy to access the same functionality via PDFNet.
To get the most accurate SVG representation that works across many
viewers you could use:
--individual_char_placement --nounicode
This hack is necessary to go around many incomaptibilities in
different browsers.
Alternatively we could send you some of our PDFs so you could create
That would be also fine. What are browsers are you targeting?
