Hello, I tried to find a way to import an EPS file and convert it to SVG.
It works manually, however, I would like to use the command line without opening the GUI (this should be the option -z ?!)
I thought it should work with:


However, no output is created.
What am I possibly doing wrong?

...it's me again.
Sorry, obviously some paths were wrong.
Getting an error message from Inkscape "File not found... " would have been nice. Anyway...

works as expected, as far as I have tested.

As this works, this basically answers an older question of mine whether there is a working SVG-Printer around which basically "prints" usable SVG files from any application.
The procedure is somewhat "crazy", since it prints a PS which is converted to EPS with subsequent correction of the bounding box which is then converted with Inkscape to SVG. However, after the lengthy installation of all necessary components it is as easy as printing a page to a printer. The good thing is: at the same time I get also an EPS and PDF file additionally to the SVG. If anybody is interested how this works I can give more details.

No, it's not solved
Some fonts are changed into strange/wrong symbols, etc., so basically an unusable document.
However, manual importing a PDF with Poppler seems to be ok.
As far as I understand Poppler converts fonts to paths?!
How do I enforce to use Poppler with the command line? Couldn't find yet the necessary parameter.

Well, the question according to the post title is solved.
The command line conversion seems to work

However, the problem of the incorrect representation of the imported EPS has a different reason:
The EPS under test uses a Symbol-Font which uses "Windows Latin (ANSI)" encoding.
Obviously, Inkscape only works with Unicode-Fonts as input.

This brings me to the question of my other post:
How to handle non-Unicode fonts in Inkscape?
