I had a dilemma. I needed a CDF, no one had the data, and someone sent me a CDF in both PDF and EPS. I needed this graph into a CDF. There are two problems with this
- One needs points from the CDF
- One needs to convert from points to CDFs
The current toolchain is
- Open PDF or EPS in Illustrator (or Inkscape)
- Copy the actual curve into a new file.
- Save as SVG
- Run svg-parser.py to get a set of points.
- Run points-to-cdf.py to get the CDF.
To convert log-scale graphs use points-to-cdf-log.py
