First slide of Beamer to SVG

Question

I have a Beamer presentation. I've always converted it to PDF with:

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error slides.tex

How can I export the first slide of a Beamer presentation to SVG?

You could use inkscape to convert the pdf to svg – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Oct 29 '18 at 17:47 — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Oct 29 '18 at 17:47
Perhaps pdf2svg could be helpful? – Harald Hanche-Olsen Nov 02 '18 at 10:46 — Harald Hanche-Olsen, Nov 02 '18 at 10:46

First

latex mydoc.tex

then

dvisvgm --font-format=woff mydoc.dvi

By default, since SVG is a one-page graphics format, dvisvgm converts only the first page, as requested by the OP, of the input DVI.

To process all pages of the DVI, which generates one numbered SVG per input page, run

dvisvgm -p1,- --font-format=woff mydoc.dvi

Usable graphics formats for embedding are EPS, PNG, JPEG, SVG. Only EPS gets emedded as inline SVG thanks to the Ghostscript library used by dvisvgm. (Ghostscript must be installed on the system.) Other graphics formats remain external and must be shipped with the main document SVG output.

More info available through dvisvgm man page:

man dvisvgm

with a TeXLive installation on Linux.
