In 20151223 version of paps, I got the following bug report.
Svg output from paps is not displayed correctly. Only the last page is
visible. To reproduce, run any paps command with --format=svg option.
% LANG=C
% man paps | col -xb | paps --format=svg > out.svg
Then check out.svg through firefox, I can see only last page.
I'm not sure about how pages should work with svg format...
