In some situations, it is quite necessary to convert PDF document into SVG image format. Here is a brief introduction to SVG image. SVG, short for scalable vector graphics, is a XML-based file format used to depict two-dimensional vector graphics. As SVG images are defined in XML text lines, they can be easily searched, indexed, scripted, and supported by most of the up to date web browsers. Therefore, in C#.NET web document viewing applications, PDF is often rendered and converted to SVG image for high fidelity viewing.

                PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(filePath);
                doc.ConvertToVectorImages(ContextType.SVG, outputDirectory, docName, RelativeType.SVG);
            }
        }
