Convert VML to PDF

Understanding VML and PDF file formats

Vector Markup Language (VML) is an XML-based file format used to define vector graphics. It was developed by Microsoft and is primarily used in web applications to display vector graphics in Internet Explorer. VML is now considered obsolete and has been largely replaced by Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a widely-used file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. PDFs can contain text, images, and vector graphics, making them ideal for sharing documents across different platforms.

Converting VML to PDF

Converting VML files to PDF can be useful for preserving the vector graphics in a more universally accessible format. Since VML is not widely supported, converting to PDF ensures that the graphics can be viewed and printed consistently across different devices and platforms.
