Convert EPS to SVG

Although I use Inkscape and Scribus and both have the option to import EPS files, they do a lame job: Inkscape converts the EPS to a static image and Scribus converts a very small amount from the original file.

Therefore I found that a detour to PDF helps in achieving better results. The key program here is GhostScript. The command is:

"c:\program files\gs\gs9.00\bin\gswin32c.exe" -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sPAPERSIZE=a3 -o c:\tmp\vector.pdf c:\tmp\vector.eps

Some values for PAPERSIZE argument:

PAPERSIZE	X inches	Y inches	X cm	Y cm
a0	33.0556	46.7778	83.9611	118.816
a1	23.3889	33.0556	59.4078	83.9611
a2	16.5278	23.3889	41.9806	59.4078
a3	11.6944	16.5278	29.7039	41.9806
a4	8.26389	11.6944	20.9903	29.7039
a5	5.84722	8.26389	14.8519	20.9903
letter	8.5	11	21.59	27.94
legal	8.5	14	21.59	35.56

After the file is in PDF format, Inkscape does a good job importing it. After import I save the result as a plain SVG to edit SVG file with Scribus. The problem that bothers me so far is that after conversion from PDF the shapes lose gradient information.
