Convert pdf/eps files to svg

I had to convert a few figures and tables written in LaTeX for a poster. Converting the figures (in eps/pdf formats) was easy and could be done with dvisvgm. To convert tables into SVG, I first created PDFs of the tables using the standalone LaTeX package, then converted them to SVG.

          \begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c| } 
              \hline
              cell1 & cell2 & cell3 \\ 
              cell4 & cell5 & cell6 \\ 
              cell7 & cell8 & cell9 \\ 
              \hline
          \end{tabular}
      \end{document}
