Extract SVG Images

Open emadg opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I have a PDF with SVG images,

when I tried parsing a page, I noticed SVG images are not detected by PDF Plumber.

Extracting those SVG or vectorized images are very important for my usecase.

Is there a way to do that in current version or not? Any guidance on how to do this?

This library does not currently have explicit methods for extracting SVG images, but it seems like a feature worth considering the the future. Do you have an example PDF you can share?

@jsvine Hey thanks for replying! I have a PDF but its confidential ... I will try to find a good public one and reply here.

@jsvine

PDF sample from here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/975349/Subaru-Eyesight.html I found this PDF which is similar to what I am working on, and includes SVG images.

Thank you for sharing that, @emadg. I haven't found the time to dig into this yet, but also haven't forgotten about it 👍
