 I’ve not tried the script on PostScript files other than those produced by Eeschema, but I’ve got no reason to think it won’t work on other PostScript files as well.
+===== SVG version =====
+I am currently testing the following for working form SVG files rather than PS. It requires more testing before I'm comfortable "releasing" it.
+<file bash svg2pdf-d>
+#!/bin/bash
+# DESTRUCTIVELY convert all svg files in working directory to pdf.
+# Source file extension is case sensitive!
+# Requires inkscape, gxmessage.
+# Mithat Konar 2013 <http://mithatkonar.com>
+OPTIONS=""
+EXT=.svg
+SCRIPTNAME=$(basename $0)
+# Make list of files to be processed.
+FILES=$(ls -1 *${EXT}) || { gxmessage -title "$SCRIPTNAME" "No ${EXT} files to convert."; exit 1; }
+# Get confirmation from user to continue.
+gxmessage -title "$SCRIPTNAME" \
+  -buttons "GTK_STOCK_NO:1,GTK_STOCK_YES:0" \
+  -default "GTK_STOCK_YES" \
+"Desctructively convert the following to PDF?
+$FILES" || exit 1
+# Make a temp file to store batch commands.
+CMDFILE=$(mktemp) || { gxmessage -title "$SCRIPTNAME" "Error: Could not create temp file." 1>&2; exit 1; }
+# Build up the list of commands in temp file.
+for file in $FILES
+do
+    base=$(basename $file ${EXT})

+done
+# Process commands in a batch.
+DISPLAY= inkscape ${OPTIONS} --shell < $CMDFILE
+rm -f $CMDFILE
+echo
+# Delete old files.
+# Since inkscape exits with 0 even with errors, we need to explicitly check
+# for conversion before deleting originals.
+rv=0
+not_deleted=""
+for file in $FILES
+do

+# Below is an alternative to the approach used above that does not use a
+# temp file. It isn't optimal because it restarts inkscape for each file.
+# However the simplicity lends itself to porting (e.g., to windows BAT.).
