Hi,

I'm using Inkscape from the command line on Linux (64-bit). I'm trying to save PDFs to SVGs.

How can I persuade Inkscape to convert text to paths? The PDFs I am processing use non-standard fonts, although the fonts are embedded in the PDFs. Text always comes out as <text> and not <symbol> and <path> which would be much better for me.

The command I am using is:
$> inkscape --without-gui --file=<pdf_file> --export-text-to-path --export-plain-svg=<svg_file>

Thanks!

Hello
maybe too late, Maybe you allready solved.
I haven't tried by myself but you have to select the objects to ve converted to path.
And you select them using a query.
See an example here:
