For line graphics there is a possible solution. You can use the software
tool pstoedit to convert a PostScript file into a DXF file (pstoedit is
available for free on the Internet). The DXF file can then be translated
into a Mathematica Graphics object by the DXF reader included in our circuit
analysis toolbox Analog Insydes (a demo version of Analog Insydes can be
downloaded from the URL in my signature).
