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.
Select the page of the PDF you are interested in if the PDF is a multi-page document (Illustrator will only open one page at a time). Go to File > Save As (Shift + Ctrl + S).

If you're using a browser other than Internet Explorer, just keep clicking the image and you'll eventually get the full-size image, which will be the SVG version. For example; keep clicking the image to the ...
The editability and scalability of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) make the format the obvious choice for graphic representation of data and illustrations. However, it is not always easy to convert raster images like GIFs, PNGs, or JPEGs to SVG, and some images (especially photos) are not conducive to this treatment.
SVG-edit is a cross-browser web-based, JavaScript-driven web tool, and has also been made into browser addons, such as an addon for Firefox, a Chrome extension, and a standalone widget for Opera. [1] There's also an experimental SVG editing extension on MediaWiki that uses SVG-edit. [2]
