I've searched and found pstoedit makes a partial import of pdf to svg, and several other perl scripts and postscript programs that choke on some pdf content when converting to ai or ps even. What I was looking for was a method of rearranging print articles from current magazines for my own use with margins to make notes in, and with editing and condensing in mind. Is pstoedit, (the gpl part), the best there is now?
I just wondered why to use pstoedit?? why don't use Graphicsmagick or imagemagick straightly?? these are freely available and widely used.. svg is supported and (e)ps.. Read and write. So you could convert eps to svg simply with convert eps.eps svg.svg.. What pstoedit really brings if it only used for eps to svg conversion??

ps. svg support could be better in imagemagick but is good enough most parts..
