ConvertOption for text

[HwiJuneKo]

Hi @dmester

Is there an option to convert text to text element <text /> instead of path <path/> ?

thanks in advance

There are multiple ways of embedding text in a PDF. PdfToSvg.NET will extract text as <text> elements as far as possible, but in some cases it will not do so:

• The text uses a font type that can contain colors and images. This cannot be converted to a regular font, and the text will be exported as the paths or images defined by the document. If this is the case, you can force export as text by setting the FontResolver option to FontResolver.LocalFonts. Note that this will change the appearance of the text.

• The PDF author has embedded the text as paths. This is probably the case and cannot be converted to regular text other than by using OCR.
