SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector image format that can be searched, indexed, scripted, compressed, and can be scaled in size without loss of quality. In this article, I will share the following two ways to convert a PDF file to SVG format using Free Spire.PDF for Java.
● Converting each page of the PDF file into a single SVG file.
● Converting multiple pages of the PDF file into one SVG file.
Import jar dependency
Method 1: Download the free library and unzip it. Then add the Spire.Pdf.jar file to your project as dependency.
Method 2: Directly add the jar dependency to maven project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.
<repositories> <repository> <id>com.e-iceblue</id> <name>e-iceblue</name> <url>http://repo.e-iceblue.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url> </repository> </repositories> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>e-iceblue</groupId> <artifactId>spire.pdf.free</artifactId> <version>4.4.1</version> </dependency> </dependencies> Sample 1: Converting a 3-page PDF file to 3 SVG files
import com.spire.pdf.*; public class ToSVG { public static void main(String[] args) { //Load the PDF file PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(); pdf.loadFromFile("Island.pdf"); //Save to SVG image pdf.saveToFile("ToSVG.svg", FileFormat.SVG); pdf.close(); } } 
Sample 2: Converting a 3-page PDF file to 1 SVG file
import com.spire.pdf.*; public class PDFtoSVG { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { String inputPath = "Island.pdf"; PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument(); document.loadFromFile(inputPath); document.getConvertOptions().setOutputToOneSvg(true); document.saveToFile("output.svg", FileFormat.SVG); document.close(); } }
