## Features

- Extracts images from each page of a PDF file.
- Converts extracted images into SVG format.
- Saves the converted images in a specified output directory.

## Requirements

To run this script, the following Python packages need to be installed:

- `pdf2image`: Converts PDF pages to images.
- `cairosvg`: Converts PNG images to SVG format.
- `Pillow`: Handles image files.

You can install these packages using pip:

```bash
pip install pdf2image cairosvg Pillow

Additionally, Poppler is required for the pdf2image library to function correctly. Install it on Ubuntu with:

sudo apt-get install poppler-utils
