Rich,

if you can convert your EPS to SVG, you might have some luck
with a module I wrote a while back to include SVG into Report-
Lab documents, although I sort of don't really maintain it any-
more:

   http://python.net/~gherman/svglib.html

Otherwise, on a Mac (at least running Leopard) you would simply
doubleclick an EPS file and resave it as a PDF in a dialog win-
dow.

You could then use ReportLab's commercial PageCatcher extension,
if this is an option for you. Other solutions will certainly be
popping up, too.

Regards,

Dinu
