PDF to SVG conversion issue with text

Postby alexandre.g » Mon Mar 06, 2017 12:04 pm

Hi all,

I am running this inkscape command on Ubuntu:

Code: Select all

inkscape -z -f input.pdf -l output.svg


to export this PDF http://goloskok.com/u/input.pdf (input.pdf) as an SVG (output.svg). There seems to be an issue with letter case for some of the text. For examples, "SPECIFICATION" in PDF becomes "SpecIfIcatIon" in SVG, "PROFILES" becomes "ProfILeS" etc.

When selecting the same text and doing copy paste from a PDF viewer all is fine.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Do you have the correct fonts installed?
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
