This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at is this possible? I'd like to open PDF files and save them to SVG. I have done this successfully with Inkscape v0.46 on Ubuntu, using the GUI. But I'd like to do the same task by script, without attending the process.
I already tried the following:
Code: Select all
inkscape -z -f a.pdf -l a.svg(a.pdf a really simple PDF file created by exporting from Inkscape.)
But this results in a screenful of glib error messages:
Code: Select all
...
(inkscape:12589): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set_qdata_full: assertion `quark > 0' failed
(inkscape:12589): glibmm-CRITICAL **: Glib::ObjectBase* Glib::wrap_create_new_wrapper(GObject*): assertion `wrap_func_table != 0' failed
(inkscape:12589): glibmm-WARNING **: Failed to wrap object of type 'GtkHButtonBox'. Hint: this error is commonly caused by failing to call a library init() function.
Presumably because Inkscape attempts to open the "PDF Import Settings"-Dialog even though I put in the -z flag to suppress the GUI.
Is there a way for me to provide the necessary settings (page selection, text handling etc.) by commandline parameters?
I'd be grateful for any suggestions or thoughts.
Thanks in advance
