I am on a learning quest to be able to make sense of the library's laser cutter. I am using Inkscape at home, and Adobe Illustrator at the library.
I was astonished to learn that PDF carries vector information, not just bitmap. Not all translation routines can extract it. (explains the ability to zoom in so much without becoming pixilated)
Inkscape will always fill an imported or created bezier that is closed. I must then define the fill color as null, the line color as a solid, and the line (stroke) style as really thin - .001 inch - (or else it gets treated as a bitmap by the laser driver (which is not GRBL).
I would really, really enjoy a subforum on the really interesting discoveries people have on this road.
I hope to settle on a GRBL based cutter of my own, as soon as I know what I am doing and all that.
