Thank you for explanation. I understand. As you said, all of these modules are using image converter inside because LaTeX engine does not support SVG images natively.
* sphinx.ext.imgconverter: imagemagick * sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter: inkscape or rsvg-convert * svg.sty: inkscape, imagemagick or ghostscript I think these converters is not perfect. I know they sometime fails to convert for some kind of images. I don't know why, but some upstream imaging software might be wrong. So it is better to prepare PDF images for LaTeX output manually if you want to output your document perfectly. But, IMO, these modules work fine in almost case. Therefore it would be no problem if you review the output once before printing.
