#MAKE PDF INTO VECTOR INKSCAPE INSTALL#
To cross compile for Windows under Linux, simply install the relevant cross-compiler packages (for Fedora this is mingw32-cairo and mingw32-poppler and their dependencies) and then replace.
#MAKE PDF INTO VECTOR INKSCAPE 64 BIT#
Windows binaries are available from GitHub both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are available. Pdf2svg is packaged for various Linux distributions (including Ubuntu and Fedora) and is available via the different package managers.

So now it is possible to easily edit PDF documents with your favourite SVG editor! One other alternative would be to use pstoedit but the commercial SVG module costs (unsurprisingly!) and the free SVG module is not very good at handling text… Installing # This appears to work on any PDF document that Poppler can read (try them in XPDF or Evince since they both use Poppler). Version 0.2.3 is available here (with modifications by Matthew Flaschen and Ed Grace). To overcome this problem I have written a very small utility to convert PDF files to SVG files using Poppler and Cairo. The best vector graphics editor I have found so far is Inkscape but it only reads SVG files… (Edit: recent versions can import PDFs but I’m not entirely happy with how text is imported in particular, that fonts are not imported from the PDF.) I produce lots of these files in my day-to-day work and I would like to be able to edit them. Under Linux there aren’t many freely available vector graphics editors and as far as I know there are none that can edit EPS (encapsulated postscript) and PDF (portable document format) files. I recommend that you use their utility since it is better maintained than mine. Note: since this utility was written, the maintainers of Poppler have written a utility that works on the same principle: pdftocairo. It’s nothing more than a simple wrapper over the top of Poppler and Cairo but it turned out to be quite popular since when it was written there were very few other utilities to do the job! For this tutorial we have used Inkscape for the conversion of the PDF to DXF, QGIS to extract some information of the DXF, Python and Geopandas on a Jupyter Lab session for spatial translation and scaling.A little program that converges a (page of a) PDF file into a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file which can be opened by Inkscape. We have done a complete tutorial with all the step required to extract the vector spatial data of a map reported as PDF into a ESRI shapefile.

The amount of tools and techniques are quite advanced, and requires several open source software for specific procedures.
In order to use the spatial data provided on a report we need procedures to extract the data on effective way. However, most times, the disorder and limited resources of public / private institutions makes the data available just on reports in digital version (as PDF) and even as paper based reports. In order to give a complete value of this spatial data, it has to be stored in special OGC standards and ESRI Shapefiles, GeoJson, Klm, NetCDF, in commercial / open source databases, on web repositories.
Vector spatial data is a type of data, that are points, lines and polygons with related information.
We publish reports, we create tables and maps, but we are more focused on giving opinion and evaluations rather than in preserving the data that someone else can review and incorporate to its own study or reanalyze and provide a complete different evaluation. Modern times records lots of data, and computational software can deal with high amount of data, but we certainly haven’t been able to store efficiently data.
