## Convert PDF to SVG in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can import PDF pages as slides and export each slide as a scalable SVG image. The conversion produces one SVG file per PDF page and does not require Microsoft PowerPoint or a PDF viewer.

## Convert PDF to SVG using Python

Create an empty `Presentation`, remove its default slide, and call `addFromPdf` to import the PDF pages. Then access each slide through a variable and call `writeAsSvgToBytes` to create the SVG data.

### Python code for converting PDF pages to SVG

```python
presentation = Presentation()
try:
    presentation.getSlides().removeAt(0)
    presentation.getSlides().addFromPdf("document.pdf")

    slide_count = presentation.getSlides().size()

    for slide_index in range(slide_count):
        slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(slide_index)
        file_path = f"page-{slide_index + 1}.svg"
        svg_data = bytes(slide.writeAsSvgToBytes())

        with open(file_path, "wb") as output_file:
            output_file.write(svg_data)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```

## How to convert PDF pages to SVG images in Python

Follow these steps to import a PDF document and export its pages as separate SVG images.

Install [**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](https://docs.aspose.com/slides/python-java/installation/).

Configure the package and start the Java Virtual Machine in your application.

Import the PDF pages by calling `addFromPdf` on the presentation's slide collection.

Access each slide through a variable, call `writeAsSvgToBytes`, and write the returned data to an SVG file.
