PDF to SVG converter

Based on Mozilla's pdf.js.

Installation

Requires node, npm, libcairo-dev, libpango-dev, libjpeg-dev, libgif-dev

After installing system deps (e.g., from ubuntu, apt-get install libcairo-dev, etc.), run "npm install" from project root directory.

Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

Following worked as of 2015-07-29, but YMMV. Based on Homebrew:

1. install homebrew
   • ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   • brew update
2. download Xcode (most recent was 6.4) from here
   • // start it (asked for my password then installed components)
   • sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
3. install dependencies
   • brew install node
   • brew install npm
   • brew install cairo
   • brew install --without-x11 pango
   • brew install libjpeg
   • brew install giflib
4. finally, install npm
   • cd <repos>/iesl-pdf-to-text/
   • npm install
