Hello,
I have a heavy pdf-file (which causes performance problems even in inkscape) with several ground plans each in it.
And need to:
-wipe out unnecessary stuff to make it lighter
-scale it to certain scale
-export results to svg

Is this possible/advisable with your program? How do I acchieve that then as a beginner?
Tia

Ps:
I just found:
http://linuxaideddesign.blogspot.de/2011/08/how-to-work-with-pdf-files-with-ares.html
pstoedit -f dxf filename.pdf filename.dxf
pstoedit -f dxf_s filename.pdf
With that one can produce the dfx, with which librecad can be feeded. Good idea?
