Re: converting SVG1. Prince (http://www.princexml.com) does SVG to PDF as vector graphics from the command line, very nicely. Too bad it's proprietary.
e.g. : prince drawing.svg drawing.pdf2. Ask Inkscape -- it's free software; unfortunately, the result is rasterized.
e.g.: inkscape --without-gui --export-text-to-path --export-eps=drawing.eps drawing.svg
From a sample 52 KB SVG file, Inkscape gives me a 420 KB EPS and Prince a 20 KB PDF.

I've not tried any conversions with SVG, mind you, so this is based on the documentation.I'll check it, but I'm afraid it does render SVG as bitmap first, and then "converts", or rather encapsulates, it to EPS/PDF. ImageMagick is a bitmap manipulation tool after all.Very true. For presentations, this may not be that much of an issue (given the resolution of many data projectors)... but it's a very valid point. Do let us know if you find a vector based converter. Thanks, eric
