I use the following sequence on the command line to convert file.svg to file.pdf (windows and linux):
inkscape file.svg -z -T -E temp.eps epsffit -c 36 36 576 756 temp.eps file.eps ps2pdf file.eps file.pdf
epsffit is part of the PSUtils package (included with most linux distros). Can be downloaded for windows at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/psutils.htm
ps2pdf is part of ghostscript which should be installed already. The epsffit command centers the images on a 8.5"x11" page with the maximum size.
I hope this helps.

Please help me. Exactly, how do I convert a .svg file to a .pdf file? What application(s) can I use to convert and then open and print the newly created .pdf file? I would like to use open source applications.
I have not had much joy saving as pdf. It kinda screws up here and there. I don't suppose it would help with cmyk stuff, but I export to png and then print that from some other app. Perhaps you could try to import your SVG into Scribus (assuming you are on Linux) and see if that does a better job at printing?
