I'm converting hundreds of multipages PDF (~ 2-3-400Kbytes each) to SVG,m I firstly developed a sw that was building the commandline to convert them in batches and it was working great, but to convert ~2000 PDF it was taking many hours.
So I decided to go with the shell mode, building a commands text file and then passing it to inkscape with the commandline "type InkcommandsREN.txt|inkscape --shell "; it works much quicker but...after some successful conversion (about 50% of the total) in the commandline I start seeing lines like this one(taken from the commandline output): <ExampleFile.PDF;export-type:svg;export-plain-svg;export-filename:.\Output\ExampleFile_1.svg; export-do Syntax Error (20634): Missing 'endstream' or incorrect stream length Syntax Error (30137): Missing 'endstream' or incorrect stream length
repeatedly, but the conversion was still producing good output, after some tents of lines like the one above I start seeing lines like these:

Hello all,

Any idea on how to solve that?
Thanks in advance
If it works for smaller batches.
Maybe create a text file with a max number of lines, and pipe each file into a shell - closing the previous one.
