I was looking at the answer to the question (converting EPS to PDF) where they suggested using Inkscape to convert EPS to PDF images. I need the exact same thing. Using the GUI, it works like a charm.
Since I have about 200 images to convert, is there a way to automate this process? Or at least run it via command line so that I can do this process faster? Even doing it one at a time from command prompt is fine because doing this from GUI is becoming a pain.
I'm learning Batch scripting so with any given answer can you elaborate to how the proccess works
I have read the page on running Inkscape on the command prompt but I'm getting the error that 'inkscape' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I asked this question over at the TeX StackExchange site and was asked to run the following batch script.
@echo off
for /r %%i in (*.eps) do "c:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\inkscape.exe" --export-pdf=%%i.pdf %%i
When I navigate to using cmd to the directory I get the error
Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.
But Inkscape just opened and nothing happened after that. Could someone please help me?
>> output.txt
at the end offor /r %%i in (*.eps) do "c:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\inkscape.exe" --export-pdf=%%i.pdf %%i
and it will output the errors to a text filefor /r %%i in (*.eps) do echo "c:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\inkscape.exe" --export-pdf=%%i.pdf %%i >> output.txt
will output each line that the batch file tries to run into a text file so you can see each line and debug from there
