No, there is no such plan for the moment.
Some tries has been done, you can take an ibis file and get it "mostly"
right, where "mostly" is not good enought for me, perhaps perfectly 
fine for others, and there is some experiments of converting pdf files
to sym. But sorry, thoose experiements has shown that it is not that
simple.

Don't ask, search the list about thoose experiments.

I don't understand you here.

Correct.

Yes, it usually comes to that.

Yes, it would, but as said before, it's not that simple.
So, unless you do some programming yourself or throw some substancial
amount of money on it, it will stay that way.

In the interim, please pick something from our selection of 
sym-generators or the symbol creation guide:
