Partial Extracting embedded vector graphics from PDFs and writing SVG or PPTX output is vibe-codeable with libraries like PyMuPDF. Converting raster figures into clean vectors and doing reliable pixel-level comparison requires computer-vision work that is harder to get right.
What it would actually take: A practical build would use PyMuPDF or pdfminer to pull vector paths and text from PDFs, python-pptx for editable output, and a rendering comparison step using rasterized diffs. Raster-to-vector conversion needs image-segmentation and vectorization algorithms, such as potrace-style tracing or learned models, plus careful handling of text and axes. This calls for computer-vision and document-processing expertise.
