Richard,

If you have some programming and XML background, you should be able to do a proof of concept using the Command line interface to AGS in a few hours.

- Install a trial of AGS
- Open the Samples folder at {your install location}/Samples
- Look at the Samples ReadMe--especially page 6 on running the samples
- Run the convertSVGToPDF.xml and convertSVGToRaster.xml samples
- Modify the sample code to use your file and modify attributes to meet your needs.
(See the documention for these two commands in the command reference.)

AGS cannot generate Press-ready PDFs from SVG in many situations. (SVG's roots are as a Web format.)
- The output PDF or JPEG will be RGB. However, output PSDs can be converted within AGS to CMYK
- You won't have fine typographic control over the output (leading, kerning, tracking, etc.)
- Modifying the structure of SVG files within AGS can be difficult.
- Images embedded in the SVG, will be Web quality rather than Press quality.

If you don't need Press-ready PDFs, AGS sounds like a good fit Some quick tests using the trial version, should let you answer that.
