Export SVG mapping
In addition to PDF, you can export the mapping as SVG. This is not the full condition report — it is the visual overlay of strokes and damage markers (optionally with artwork background and legend).
Why SVG?
SVG is a vector format. Typical follow-on uses:
- Continue drawing or editing in Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity, etc.
- Embed the mapping in custom reports, presentations, or publication layouts
- Archive the mapping separately from the PDF document
- Share with partners who do not use Documentr but need the drawing
What is included
- Mapping layers and strokes (deterministic from the same stroke data as in the PDF)
- Damage markers / annotations
- Optional: background image (artwork view)
- Optional: embedded legend
Export is available via the API (GET /reports/:id/svg) and the admin/report UI. Parameters control legend, background, and view (viewId).

| Format | vector (SVG) | paginated document (PDF) |
| Further work in graphics tools | well suited | limited |
