how to convert kml file to pdf - kml

I have downloaded a kml file from https://www.genesys-pgr.org/explore/map but I don't have a tool to support it. How can I convert the xml file to pdf or word file?

Converting a KML file to a PDF is not straightforward and the solution really depends on what you want to do with the PDF file. KML or Keyhole Markup Language is simply a collection of geospatial annotations on a map that can be opened in an application that supports that data format. KML itself is a shareable file format that can be emailed from one user to another to share places on the map.
If you just want to view the KML file recommend you download and install Google Earth Pro, which is freely provided by Google. There are other viewers for KML available.
One way to convert KML to PDF is the following steps:
Open the KML file with Google Earth Pro
Change the view on the map to view you want to save in the PDF file. For example, tilt the map and/or zoom on the map.
Next take a screenshot of the Google Earth map or select save image option in the menu to save the map view as a JPEG image.
Insert that JPEG image into a Word document and/or then save it as a PDF file.

Is there property in Tesseract OCR to find string and delete page from PDF

I was trying to convert Image PDF to text PDF in Tesseract OCR. In between i need to check for cover page and remove that from the result. Is it possible in Tessaract OCR itself to identify cover page based on specific properties of cover page(cover page text matching). or do i have to take the whole output of tessetact OCR result and provide my logic to scan PDF and remove cover page. I am fully confused and any help will be appreciated.
Theres no way for Tesseract to do that, you should remove the page beforehand, and then hand the PDF image to OCR.
There's a good answer on how to do what i told you at https://stackoverflow.com/a/11541587/9740486

Text-editing a draw.io file exported as SVG with embedded drawing

I customarily export draw.io drawings as SVG with the option to "include a copy of my diagram" selected. This enables me to display them in a SVG-capable browser, and then open and modify them further in draw.io.
I'd like to do some scripted editing of the SVG file, such as modifying the href of a link I've added to a shape, but generally anything. In my limited testing I've found that I can open one of these SVG files in a text editor, change the href, save, and still reopen the file both in a browser and in draw.io.
What worries me is the chunk of base-64 text inside the SVG file, which I assume is the embedded "copy of my diagram". Am I risking throwing the SVG out of synch with the embedded diagram, or is it safe to do this?
You are throwing the SVG out of synch with the embedded diagram. The base64 encoded text is just a GZIP compressed representation of the XML data. This example demonstrates how to uncompress/compress the XML: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-tools/blob/master/tools/convert.html (the SVG output is that of the first page, ie the first diagram tag in the mxfile). You can see it in action at https://jgraph.github.io/drawio-tools/tools/convert.html
Finally, to link the SVG output to the XML data, there is a plugin that embeds the cell ID (and metadata) in the SVG output (see https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blob/master/war/plugins/svgdata.js or https://www.draw.io?p=svgdata).

PDF images unscaled to PDF document using pdfrw/ReportLab

This question is very similar to PDF image in PDF document using ReportLab (Python), but I seem unable to adapt it to my needs:
I want to add vectorized images (available in SVG oder PDF format) to an A4 PDF output. The images must not get scaled! They should simply be placed from top to bottom with some vertical spacing and automatic page breaks.
No text or other content is required. Basically, I'm looking for a pdfnup solution. In the past, I have used pdflatex with a simple input file for the task, but this is no option for the target system.

Convert rtf to sag to be used as IMG in html

I have been provided with some rtf files that are to be used for inline svgs. I want to reference the sag externally but when I use any rtf to svg converters it converts it into an sag image with the code.
See screenshot showing the svg after I have tried convert it from an rtf file.
Does anyone know how to convert an rtf file to an svgs that i can reference as an img src in my html?
You can simply copy the text from the rtf file and put it into code editor/notepad, and save with the .svg extension. If this is too much hassle (because you have many files) look for a tool that converts rtf to txt, and then change the extension to svg.

Using writekml in stata to create maps in google earth

I'm trying to use writekml in stata to create a kml map that can open in Google earth. I have the exact geographic coordinates of the places I need to map and they're stored under variable headers "latitude" and "longitude." The command I run is:
writekml, filename(xyzmap) plcategory(village_types)
The file is exporting but its showing up blank and and none of the markers are showing in google earth.
Note:
I've created maps using shapefiles but i want the ones in Google maps because of the greater detail
I've been able to manually convert an xls file containing the latitudes and longitudes to kml and then opening it with Google earth so I definitely know the coordinates are fine.
