Could you post the exact error message? Something like "XXX could not be executed" or "no XXX file could be found" or "XXX was not successful"... After much trial and error, I have found a combination of config settings that works: The "format" field  has to be "svg" and not "svc (cairo)" or "pdf to svg" The "*.svg" box has to be ticked; the box after it can be left blank A confusing issue is that when you click the "format" drop-down, the drop-down list appears, not next to the box, but somewhere  else on the screen a fair way away. It is easy to just not see it (especially with a large monitor) and to think that the drop-down  does nothing. My thanks to those who responded and prompted me to fiddle a bit more.
