Hi again

I'm trying to do a vector to vector conversion like so:
it seems that the resulting pdf is simply a bitmap instead of a vector. How can I create a pdf that preserves the vector data?

ultimately I would like to gather several vector + bitmap files (ai, eps, and pdf, etc..) and merge/layer them into one pdf file. Is this possible with imagemagick + php extension (like magickwand)? I've tried tcpdf, which uses imagemagick, but couldn't get it to recognize the ai/eps/pdf files that I used for input.

A word about Vector Image formats

IM is a raster image process with only minor vector handling capabilities to DRAW the vectors.

It does not preserve vectors.

the above link contains pointers to programs I know about that can do vector to vector image conversions. If you fond any others, than please let us know.
