In the PDF specs I actually found something about including PostScript.
Chapter "4.10 PostScript XObjects" might be a solution but it also says
there:
Note: Since PDF 1.3 encompasses all of the Adobe imaging model features
of the PostScript language, there is no longer any reason to use

Hi again,
Further to the message I sent a few minutes ago suggesting pstoedit
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

Phil,
I did try pstoedit, and it didn't work on a good percentage of our graphics

Hi Bill,
Have you seen pstoedit? (http://www.pstoedit.net/). This will convert
postscript to a variety of vector graphics formats, and it DOESN'T
convert it to a bitmap first, so you should keep the original quality.
The free version doesn't support SVG output; you can get a demo with

Why not convert eps
Why not convert eps to gif/jpg and then embed gifs/jpgs into the document?

We're evaluating FOP as an alternative to our current XML publishing
