Is there any way to make Imagemagick (convert) not rasterize the PDF?

I guess not, since Imagemagick is a raster tool primarily. It is much more difficult to correctly translate one vector format into another than just rasterize it.

Could I perhaps save as a different vector format and go from there?

Like I said, the best and most complete vector export filter in 0.45 is PDF export. Use it directly. If you have any troubles, show us the files.

Or if you don't care if it's vector or not, just export hi-res bitmap directly from Inkscape.

Thanks for this insight. I never knew there was such a thing as a vector PDF.

Of course PDF is a vector format, a descendant of vector Postscript.
