In the PDF specs I actually found something about including PostScript.
Chapter "4.10 PostScript XObjects" might be a solution but it also says

Hi again,

for EPS to SVG conversion - I've had a quick play, and it seems that
there are two ways to make pstoedit create SVG. Either you pay $50
to enable the shareware SVG back-end, or use use "-f plot-svg".
This uses GNU libp

Hi Bill,
Have you seen pstoedit? (http://www.pstoedit.net/). This will convert
