pdftocairo as pdf2svg replacement?

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

Does anyone have experience using pdftocairo to handle PDF to SVG conversion?

I'm on a system at work that can't support the usual pdf2svg binary.

I was trying Inkscape as an alternative but it uses some internal libraries that don't handle LaTeX fonts correctly.

While trying to solve this on an Inkscape forum I found a post mentioning pdftocairo (this is part of the poppler library, I think).

So far in testing it has solved the font problem Inkscape had, and seems to be doing a faithful conversion.
