neither worked for me, got awful results. and converting eps to svg created a 60MB svg file wtf lol?\
the first command created ugly jagged edges like it was rasterized.
plus it didnt do wut i asked for. the bounding box remained the same size (really small).
id like to see ur results, i dont know how it could possibly work for u those commands...
found this btw but havent tried it yet:
http://superuser.com/questions/198460/c ... svg-format
states:
Uniconverter is currently the most convenient option.
It's a command-line tool that shares code with the sK1 Project. You won't have to bother cropping the image in sK1 if you use uniconverter, so it's more automated.
Run it like this:
uniconverter before.eps after.svg
And that's it. I tried it on one EPS, but the SVG was offset improperly, but it may work for you.
Here's a list of alternatives and reasons why they suck:
The sK1 Project
It has the sense of a "page" that you put your drawing on, so after you import an EPS, you have to move it around and manually crop the page.
ImageMagick
For EPS to SVG conversion, ImageMagick does some really stupid bitmap conversion and will render SVG files that are 50mb, when they should be a few kb. It doesn't actually have a real vector conversion algorithm for these formats.
InkScape
Every time I've converted an EPS with InkScape, it's messed up the colours. This is due to an Inkscape bug with importing EPS files. (Update: Fix Released for this bug on February 2015)
Gimp
Gimp just does the same stupid bitmap conversion that ImageMagick does.
Scribus
It gets the colours of my EPS file even more wrong than Inkscape, while Preview for Mac can read it just fine.
