To convert a pdf: 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.
SVG makes an excellent format for artwork, diagrams and drawings. SVG images are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed. Since they are XML files, SVG images can be edited with any text editor, but SVG-based drawing programs are also available.
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). From the Format drop-down menu, select SVG (*.SVG). Save As. In the resulting dialog box: Under SVG Profiles, choose a profile (usually SVG 1.0 or SVG 1.1).
Image:Canada_blank_map.svg — Canada. File:Blank US Map (states only).svg — United States (including Alaska and Hawaii). Each state is its own vector image, meaning coloring states individually is very easy. File:Blank USA, w territories.svg – United States, including all major territories.

Programs that do raster-to-vector conversion may accept bitmap formats such as TIFF, BMP and PNG. The output is a vector file format. Common vector formats are SVG, DXF, EPS, EMF and AI. Vectorization can be used to update images or recover work. Personal computers often come with a simple paint program that produces a bitmap output file.
