I am planning in creating a Illustrator/Sketch vector based template for the CSS framework UiKit. And I wonder how to do that.

My first thought was to print to PDF and dissect it from there, but then the print styles get to work. And it would be way too much work to remove all print related styles with FF's element inspector.

So my only other idea would be to make screenshots of the page and redraw it in Illustrator, using an overlay tool such as GluePrint (Mac) or Image Overlay Utility (Win).

I also tried to use Inkscape's CSS via its XML inspector, but it obviously does not support a lot of the required CSS.

WebVector is a java applet that can render HTML as SVGs.


Creat an HTML file for each UiKit component you wanted to convert
Point WebVector at each file and generate your SVGs
Tidy up the SVGs in your favourite vector editing app.

I haven't tried this, but it might be worth a shot:

Paparazzi can take screenshots of a page and save it as an editable svg, that can then be imported into sketch/illustrator

Here's a more detailed tutorial on how to do it
