Hmmm. I just saved a PDF as EPS via the UI, specifying PS level 3 and TIFF
preview. I then ran the following script:

tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
 tell document 1
  set filePath to file alias as text
 end tell
 activate
 save document 1 to file (filePath & "**") using EPS Conversion
end tell

According to BBEdit, the two resulting EPS files are identical.

Any thoughts?
