Yes it's there (I'm using version 0.46 - Apr 2008) I actually use it as the preferred command-line SVG->PDF converter for LaTeX docs: $ inkscape <source-svg> --without-gui --export-pdf=<target-pdf> I'm curious to know what other requirements does inkscape fail, because I find it extremely useful -- it is true that you have to get use to some tricks, like for example painting arrows.
