How to translate SVG to EPS and simplify SVG?

Question

EPS

The task was set to convert many thousands of SVG files to EPS
. Also, it was required to make copies of all SVGs, in which there are only paths (path)
I use a bunch of utilities, the result is approximately the same.
I've already lost half my hair.
Question 1.
A simple call to convert SVG to EPS using
inkscape inkscape -z test.svg -E test.eps
On ubuntu and on centos, it produces EPS files that are categorically different in content
SVG source file https://www.dropbox.com/s /llfncf45kbtcdzw/armchair.svg
Centos: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gameozeqmsn7s60/armchair... 2 kb
Ubuntu: https://www.dropbox.com/s/84cau3z6dhdj2j0/armchair... 12 kb
My regular program corrected a couple of parameters and stopped working.
In particular, it changed the scale: 0.8 -0.8 scale -> 1.0 -1.0 scale
As an option - put yourself a virtual machine with centos and experiment in it. But still, why are they different?
Question 2. Why does this scale 0.8 suddenly appear
? Locally, on Ubuntu [ https://www.dropbox.com/s/84cau3z6dhdj2j0/armchair... ], I don't see this scale inside the EPS file. But when opening the EPS in Illustrator, it is 20% smaller than the original SVG image.
Here's the original SVG and two EPS side by side in Illustrator: take.ms/aPbjr
What causes an image to scale negatively? How to avoid it?
Question 3. I have an SVG that uses circle, ellipse, rect and other primitives
https://www.dropbox.com/s/loexj5l2egof3w7/wifi_logo.svg
I want to upload it to icomoon.io/app to recolor and render special font
And an incomplete picture is obtained take.ms/rL5sM
By manually processing SVG with inkscape, I got a version without primitives - it has only one complex path: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wlw2z1szf2u058a/wifi_log... To
me you need to perform such a conversion for 400 files now and do the same automatically in the future. How can you simplify SVG like this on the server in console mode, without a GUI?
I tried the file processing commands through the line
inkscape -z --verb blablabla
But inkscape does not respond in console mode to these commands. Run X11 server will not have enough resources.
They suggested converting with the help of Illustrator - but even more resources are needed for it and the platform should be changed to Windows or MacOS - in general, spaceships are obtained.
Maybe there is another way to simplify SVG?

Answer 1

I don't know if you've looked at Apache Batik and Apache FOP and this question is from 2006 .
