I am looking for tools to convert chemical structure files (preferably MDL
molfiles or Chemical markup Language) into graphic files. As an output
format.....

Answer:
There was a product called Consystant that ran on the Windows platform put
out by a company called ExoGraphics. I believe it could take MDL mol files
and turn them into .wmf files. It could also do batch conversions. A quick
Web search turned up several things. First it appears that Consystant was
included with ISIS 2.0 from MDL. Also the scientific software developer
list at:
http://www.sisweb.com/software/softdlnk.htm
has this entry for ExoGraphics.
ExoGraphics (973) 728-0188 exographics \\at// compuserve.com
and the site:
http://www.sgi.com/Products/appsdirectory.dir/SolutionIXComputational_Chemis
try.html
has this listing:
ConSystant
ConSystant is a utility that allows the user to
interconvert chemical structure
files. ConSystant allows users of software packages that
manipulate chemical
structures (such as molecular modeling software, chemical
databases, and 2-D
structure drawing) to exchange data. The current version
3.0 supports many
different chemical data interchange file formats as well
as several simple
graphical outputs.

Hope that this program is still available and is of some help with your
problem.
