I want to convert PDF to SVG please suggest some libraries/executable that will be able to do this efficiently. I have written my own java program using the apache PDFBox and Batik libraries - 

    PDDocument document = PDDocument.load( pdfFile );
    DOMImplementation domImpl =
        GenericDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation();
    
    // Create an instance of org.w3c.dom.Document.
    String svgNS = &quot;http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&quot;;
    Document svgDocument = domImpl.createDocument(svgNS, &quot;svg&quot;, null);
    SVGGeneratorContext ctx = SVGGeneratorContext.createDefault(svgDocument);
    ctx.setEmbeddedFontsOn(true);
    
    // Ask the test to render into the SVG Graphics2D implementation.
    
        for(int i = 0 ; i &lt; document.getNumberOfPages() ; i++){
            String svgFName = svgDir+&quot;page&quot;+i+&quot;.svg&quot;;
            (new File(svgFName)).createNewFile();
            // Create an instance of the SVG Generator.
            SVGGraphics2D svgGenerator = new SVGGraphics2D(ctx,false);
            Printable page  = document.getPrintable(i);
            page.print(svgGenerator, document.getPageFormat(i), i);
            svgGenerator.stream(svgFName);
        }
This solution works great but the size of the resulting svg files in huge.(many times greater than the pdf). I have figured out where the problem is by looking at the svg in a text editor. it encloses every character in the original document in its own &lt;text&gt; &lt;/text&gt; block even if the font properties of the characters is the same. For example the word hello will appear as 6 different text blocks. Is there a way to fix the above code? or please suggest another solution that will work more efficiently.
