first of all you need to say us if you

- want keep vector format
- want simply wrap your pdf in an EPS container

assuming you want do the first thing (keeping vector), imagemagick is not the proper software to perform this task

you can:

- use Gsview + pstoedit
- open your pdf
- convert in EPS format

or use ps2eps but first you must convert pdf in ps with

pdftops (different from pdf2ps that is a ghostscript wrapper)

pdftops (part of poppler utils) is able to perform conversion more reliably

then on your ps you can use ps2eps
