## FAQ / Interesting details
* Can I convert a PDF to gcode? Yes! Follow [this guide using Inkscape to convert a PDF to an SVG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphics_Lab/Resources/PDF_conversion_to_SVG#Conversion_with_Inkscape)
* Are shapes, fill patterns supported? All objects can be converted to paths in Inkscape with `Object to Path` for use with this program. Not sure how practical fill patterns would be -- if you have ideas, feel free to open as issue or a PR.
* What about a generic PPD driver for using a plotter as a printer? I thought about doing something like this where you package ghostscript + inkscape + svg2gcode but since plotter dimensions and capabilities vary, this is an exercise left to the reader for now.
