Saving PDF as SVG?

[jack craigt29284148]

Hi Folks,

I'm attempting to save a PDF as an SVG for use on my web site. Illustrator crashes when I use the Export As method, and using the Script SaveDocsAsSVG gives me an "Access denied" note. Is it possible to save a PDF as an SVG? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!
