Thanks! I will give that a shot. Now that I know how to create the 'clean' svg's, I'll also see if I can convert those to djvu. If that works out, I can convert that to a reasonably sized pdf. I have a number of scanned documents, so I am familiar with bizarrely huge PDF's and that does not in and of itself bother me, since there are ways to reduce the filesize quite significantly. I'll also let you know about Inkscape, when I have a chance to try that out.

Perfect. I'm so pleased. This actually allows me to get around a serious issue (for academics, at least) with textbooks, since I can now get to a point where I can transform bought books so that they become 'citeable'.
