What data path, using free (linux) tools, would you suggest for the best conversion and import? I didn't see any EPS import features in the current inkscape CVS. Are there other vector formats that would be better suited? Thanks.
With sketch installed, eps and ps import should work in inkscape. Cheerz Lars
Interesting. Just to make sure I have your drift, You're recommending I install skencil http://www.nongnu.org/skencil/index.html then use skencil to import the vector pdf as eps. Finally I should use skencil to save the imported map as SVG, which can be opened by inkscape.
Did I get that recommendation right, or does inkscape actually use skencil importers if you build it with skencil installed?
BTW, xpdf's command pdftops would be used to generate the initial EPS. Do you have any recommendations on postscript options that would be best for the EPS generation? Thanks.
