Extracting a Logo from PDF in Inkscape
Open the PDF in Inkscape — it will ask which page to import. Navigate to the page with the logo. Select the logo elements, copy them, paste into a new Inkscape document, and save as SVG.
- File > Open > select PDF > choose page number
- Select logo elements with the selection tool
- Ctrl+C to copy, open new document, Ctrl+V to paste
- File > Save As > Plain SVG
Using Adobe Illustrator for PDF Logo Extraction
Illustrator handles PDF extraction most reliably, especially for complex logos with embedded fonts or special effects. Open the PDF page, select the logo, copy it to a new document, and export as SVG.
- File > Open > select PDF (choose page to import)
- Select All (Ctrl+A), copy logo paths
- New document > paste
- File > Export As > SVG > Save
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract a vector logo from a PDF for free?
Yes — Inkscape is free and can open most PDFs. Go to File > Open and select your PDF.
Why does the logo look wrong after PDF extraction?
The PDF may use spot colors, CMYK, or PostScript blends that don't translate directly to SVG RGB. Convert colors manually after extraction.
What if the logo in the PDF is a raster image?
If the PDF was created from a scanned document or saved with raster logos, there are no vectors to extract. Screenshot and vectorize via imagetosvg.com instead.
How do I tell if a PDF contains vector or raster content?
Zoom in to 500% in a PDF viewer. If the logo stays sharp, it is vector. If it becomes pixelated, it is raster.
