Check out the first post. The author put it at the end, labeled “laptop.pdf”. Click that and download to your computer.

Can I cut it on the glowforge as a pdf?

Yes. It will use a PDF that contains SVGs.

Both PDFs and SVGs are container files. You might have meant a PDF that contains vectors?

Correct. SVG is a standard XML format for describing vectors.
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic.
I was not meaning the a PDF file contains SVG files. I was referring to the data, not the file.

Oh…OK. That makes sense. I knew what SVG stood for, but didn’t fully understand the sort of dual meaning in the way you described it.

I believe that the nature of a PDF is that when it is created it is converting all the contents into scalable vector images. So it basically is a binary version of the SVG file (SVG files are just text/xml documents).
Someone please correct my understanding if that is wrong.

PDF is much more powerful and complicated than an SVG (hence the bigger file sizes). you can have editable text in a PDF, and yet it will still print to the GF because of the way the file is structured. SVG will not work on the GF without the text converted to outlines.
i would not say a PDF contains SVGs, it’s confusing. a PDF can contain images, vector shapes, interactive content, etc., but to call what’s vector in a PDF “SVGs” is confusing. it’s just vectors. all vector shapes are scalable graphics.
