Produces a VERY clean rendering of the EPS as SVG at a default 150dpi vector/pixel resolution, that can be bumped obscenely high with a -r resolution switch. Was poking at a Windows build of poppler and find that for handling an EPS conversion to SVG the combination of Ghostscript's "ps2pdf" utility:Īnd Poppler's (from poppler-utils) "pdftocairo" utility: I've used it a bit, and it is much cleaner than passing PDF (or EPS) through inkscape. If filtering EPS to convert it to SVG-the dvisvgm utility does it in one step, but has several dependencies as noted.Īn alternative, and perhaps more appealing choice would be to use the ghostscript provided tool "ps2pdf -dEPSCrop" command to take each EPS to PDF, and then use a poppler and cairo wrapper to move from PDF to SVG (or other format).ĭave Barton's pdf2svg is a poppler & cairo based wrapper to do that conversion.

Much of this is already being done for LibreOffice with Roland Baudin's TexMaths extension (derived from Geoffroy Piroux's ooolatex) with cross platform implementation-but depends on a LaTex helper-MikTek, TeXlive, MacTex-for Windows, Linux or OSX respective. It should render the EPS to SVG 1.1 with good fidelity, and then allow image manipulation as SVG without too much additional refactoring, making use of SVG's preview rendering and existing export filter handling for SVG. To handle EPS, working internally with SVG as an alternative to pstoedit handling as EMF/WMF, would Martin Gieseking's dvisvgm project code (GPLv3 at )from the TeX device independent file format world (but still ghostscript bound) be functional?
