Convert Images doesn't handle SVG files?

I'm using Create PDF from Web Page to try and capture a small website with links between the pages on the site copied across to the pages in the PDF file.

 

The header of the site has an SVG graphic - and I have Convert Images under HTML Conversion Settings enabled - but Acrobat just shows an outline + blue question mark instead in the generated PDF.

 

Does the Create PDF function not cope with SVG files?

Thanks for reporting the issue.

We support following image format for conversion to pdf ,.bmp, .jpeg, .gif, .tiff, .png, .pcx, .rle, .dib

I just tried embeding svg file to an html, and it did not come post converted pdf. This seems asDesigned to me.

Thank you for checking that Subrato.

 

As SVG has been around since 1999 it's surprising that it's not a format supported for conversion to pdf.  Dare I ask if the Google promoted webp format is supported (I will run a test against one of our pages using them as well).

Per my testing Adobe Acrobat Pro's Create PDF from Web Page does not convert .webp files in the webp format.

 

Is there a process where community members can suggest improvements to Acrobat?
