man pdftoipe (Commandes) - Convert PDF files into editable Ipe format
NAME
pdftoipe - Convert PDF files into editable Ipe format
SYNOPSIS
pdftoipe [ -f int ] [ -l int ] [ -opw string ] [ -upw string ] [ -q ] PDF file XML file
DESCRIPTION
pdftoipe converts arbitrary PDF files to Ipe's XML format.
Note that pdftoipe is not related to Ipe's use of the PDF file format. PDF files generated by Ipe contain an extra stream with Ipe markup information, which is necessary for Ipe to read the file again. If you wish to convert an Ipe-generated PDF-file to XML format, you should use ipetoipe -xml! pdftoipe is meant to allow you to take arbitrary PDF files and make them editable in Ipe.
pdftoipe does a pretty good job on drawings, but doesn't handle text very well. Ipe's text model is based on LaTeX, which is just very different from the text found in most PDF files.
