.SH NAME
pdftoipe \- Convert PDF files into editable Ipe format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pdftoipe
[ -f \fIint\fP ] [ -l \fIint\fP ] [ -opw \fIstring\fP ]
[ -upw \fIstring\fP ] [ -q ] \fIPDF file\fP \fIXML file\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBpdftoipe\fP converts arbitrary PDF files to Ipe's XML format.
Note that \fBpdftoipe\fP 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 \fIipetoipe -xml\fP! \fBpdftoipe\fP is meant to allow you
to take arbitrary PDF files and make them editable in Ipe.
\fBpdftoipe\fP 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.
.TP
\fB-math\fR
Use LaTeX math mode for all text objects in the PDF file
.TP
\fB-notext\fR
Ignore all text in the PDF file, convert graphics only
