Obviously, I want to avoid raster images as intermediate step.

A:
I've never tried this, but I think you'd have to first convert the EPS file to a PDF (using Ghostscript or something), and then use importPageIntoForm or importpage (depending on exactly what you're trying to do). You need a PostScript interpreter to handle EPS, because PostScript is a complete programming language, and PDF isn't.

Ghostscript also produces raster images in the PDF. It appears there is no converter that would output vector graphics usable in PDF. It's a shame that the fools at Adobe neglected to build in backward-compatibility into their new format. Thanks Adobe! >:( I'll accept you _pro forma_.

Are you sure about that? It's my understanding that Ghostscript generates vector-based PDF. (Obviously, if the EPS file contains raster images, they'll still be raster images in the PDF.)
