Build Scripts

This project provides build scripts for Arch Linux and Windows (MSYS2) environments.

Arch Linux

Arch Linux users can install directly from the AUR, for example using the AUR helper paru:

paru -S pdf-svg-conv

Alternatively, you can manually clone the AUR repository and build/install:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pdf-svg-conv.git
cd pdf-svg-conv
makepkg -si

Windows (MSYS2)

Windows (MSYS2) users can build using the provided PKGBUILD. For example, run the following commands in the MSYS2 UCRT64 environment's bash shell:

mkdir live-photo-conv
cd live-photo-conv
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/wszqkzqk/5ece53f3cda6213c62c5f77a9da26af4/raw/PKGBUILD
makepkg-mingw -si

Manual Build

Dependencies

Runtime dependencies:

• GLib
  • GObject
  • GIO
• Cairo
• Poppler
  • Poppler-GLib
• Rsvg
• help2man (optional, for generating manpages)

Build-time dependencies - In addition to runtime dependencies, you also need:

• Meson
• Vala

Install dependencies on Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S --needed meson vala glib2 cairo poppler-glib librsvg help2man

Install dependencies on MSYS2:

pacman -S --needed mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-meson mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-vala mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-glib2 mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cairo mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-poppler mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-librsvg help2man

Compilation

Meson build options:

• manpage: Whether to generate manpages. By default, it automatically detects whether help2man is installed, and if so, generates manpages.

Configure the build with the following command:

meson setup builddir --buildtype=release

Then compile the project:

meson compile -C builddir

Install the project:

meson install -C builddir

  -p, --password=PASSWORD     Password for the PDF file
  -l, --label=LABEL           Page label, may be number (eg. 1), range (eg. 5-9), or 'all', 1-indexed

For example, convert example.pdf to output-%04d.svg:

neopdf2svg example.pdf output-%04d.svg

Convert the first page of example.pdf to output.svg:

neopdf2svg -l 1 example.pdf output.svg

Convert pages 5-9 of example.pdf to output-%04d.svg:

neopdf2svg -l 5-9 example.pdf output-%04d.svg

Specify a PDF password:

neopdf2svg -p xxxxxx example.pdf output-%04d.svg

Neo SVG to PDF (neosvg2pdf)
