This needs to be replaced with a command string for an PDF->EPS converter
Make sure that the given command works as desired from the command line.

Exactly. Reading the Help>Customization guide will help with the format
(basically, $$i will be replace with input-filename and $$o with output
filename).
Also, after making sure that the from: and to: formats are still set as
intended, you need to press the add button (left top corner) and than [Save].
Regarding a suitable command, we need to know your system a bit more...
Example
=======
pdftops - Portable Document Format (PDF) to PostScript converter
SYNOPSIS
pdftops [options] [PDF-file [PS-file]]
-f number
Specifies the first page to print.
-l number
Specifies the last page to print.
-eps Generate an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file. An EPS file
contains a single image, so if you use this option with a multi-
page PDF file, you must use -f and -l to specify a single page.
No more than one of the mode options (-eps, -form) may be given.
Command string:
pdftops -f 1 -l 1 -eps $$i $$o
