| Apr 22, 2017 at 17:31 | comment | added | Scott | I would merely redraw it by hand, using the image as a manual tracing guide. Better, cleaner, paths that way. | |

| Jan 20, 2017 at 22:13 | comment | added | James Davies | Thanks @Rafael. I have Inkscape, and I've tried the tracing tool, but it doesn't seem to get me where I want to be - largely the lack of 'centreline tracing' it seems. I've also had a look at VectorMagic, and that seems to be shapes rather than paths. I may be using the settings wrong. The .ps file - I have nothing here that will open that :-( | |
| Jan 20, 2017 at 20:41 | comment | added | Rafael | And tracing can be done in Inkscape too. inkscape.org/es/doc/tracing/tutorial-tracing.html Ill post that as part of an answer but Let us explore the PS file first. | |
| Jan 20, 2017 at 20:38 | comment | added | Rafael | Also, do they only output black and white lines? or can you have some color gradient shapes? | |
| Jan 20, 2017 at 20:37 | comment | added | Rafael | Oh. My god. Why everyone starts only recomending Ilustrator? James, What program are you using to generate the file? Because there is a chance the .KMZ file format or .PS file are vector information. Actually .PS could be the granddaddy of PDF. | |

| Jan 20, 2017 at 17:02 | comment | added | James Davies | Hi @GoofyMonkey, thanks for that :-). Could you let me know how I'd do it in illustrator, and I'll see if I can get a trial version? | |
| Jan 20, 2017 at 16:55 | comment | added | GoofyMonkey | It's really too bad you don't have access to Illustrator. This can be achieved very easily in it. If this isn't a long term project, you might be able to get away with the free trial version? | |
