RasterEdge .NET Imaging Conversion SDK supports various conversions between documents and images. VB.NET developers can use the PDF conversion control to render and convert PDF document to SVG vector image in VB.NET application. Developers are able to convert both single and multiple PDF document pages into SVG images using simple VB.NET demo codes.

Preparations made to convert PDF document to SVG vector image in VB.NET application are quite simple. You just need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later versions and Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010 or 2012 to create VB.NET project for PDF to SVG conversion. Then, you may check whether your Windows system is supported by our PDF document conversion control. It supports Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / Windows 7 and Windows Server 2000 / 2003 / 2008.
