EPS to SVG conversion?

Postby Steve Robinson » Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:26 am

Hello,

I am a newbie to both this forum and working with graphics, so please bear with me.

I am looking for a utility to convert EPS files to SVG that will then be used to work with my ASP.NET web application. This needs to be a command-line utility as it needs to be handled in the background as customers will be uploading EPS files through the UI. Am I in the right place?

I have tried using PSTOEDIT along with Ghostscript (ie. pstoedit -f plot-svg...). This produces a SVG file, however, the SVG color does not match the original EPS file, not even close. Also, the resulting svg image is truncated when viewed in a browser - although if i zoom out I am able to view the entire image, so I suppose I need to define a bounding box or something to define the maximum display size on output... am I on the right track, is there some trick to using this Pstoedit utility?

Any help is appreciated.

Steve
