Dylan,
Will do. Is there a specific feature I should look for that solves my
specific problem?

I have a TON of vector drawings available to me in PDF format that I'm
georeferencing. So far, I'm doing it by converting them to PNGs and
using r.to.vect to massage them. This is really tedious and the data
isn't as clean as a straight vector conversion would be. In
Illustrator, I can see that all the vector math is there. That is, the
PDF isn't simply a wrapper around raster data.
I've tried opening the PDFs in Illustrator and exporting them as DXFs,
but Grass ignores a lot of the data when I do this...they look very
different in Grass once imported. I can export them as SVG from
Illustrator, but surprisingly, there doesn't appear to be a single
open-source tool available out there that converts SVG into some
mainstream GIS file format.
Does anyone have experience doing this type of conversion? Pointers
welcome.
