Download the PDF you want to convert; Run Inkscape; Open the PDF file you want convert in Inkscape (not Acrobat) Click OK on the box that comes up; Wait a little while as Inkscape converts it; Click File>Save As.. Click Save in the bottom right corner; Done! You now have an SVG file with the same name as the PDF, but with the .svg extension
Convert the first page of a PDF file with pdf2svg file.pdf file.svg. To extract all pages of a multiple-page PDF use pdf2svg file.pdf output-%02d.svg all. This generates output files output-00.svg, output-01.svg, etc. where the pattern "%02d" is replaced by the respective two-digit page numbers. If necessary use Inkscape to edit the resulting SVG.
The workarounds that one can employ are either not to use flowed text (by using the text tool without creating a text field), or convert the text to normal text (by Text-editor or sed-command, or with Inkscape-GUI or with a Inkscape-batch), but to stroke the text using "object to path", since path-text is not recommended and increases file-size.
Inkscape is able to write and edit text with tools available for changing font, spacing, kerning, rotation, flowing along the path or into a shape. Text can be converted to paths for further editing. The program also has layers (as well as objects) feature that allows the user to organize objects in a preferred stacking order in the canvas.
Import both to Inkscape, align WMF on top of TIFF; Add atom labels and join bonds (optional), delete TIFF (Important! You don't want an embedded bitmap, as it won't upload properly.) Save as plain SVG. This solution is a bit time-consuming, but good results can be achieved this way.

[1] A number of vector graphics editors exist for various platforms. Potential users of these editors will make a comparison of vector graphics editors based on factors such as the availability for the user's platform, the software license, the feature set, the merits of the user interface (UI) and the focus of the program.
Sometimes, you find a drawing or similar image useful for a Wikipedia article, that was saved as a JPEG but should have been saved as a PNG.JPEG is good for images where the color changes fluidly throughout the image, like in a photograph, whereas PNG files are good for images with relatively few colors, such as a drawing of a flag, a chart, or a map; note that sometimes SVG is better.
