Shane,

I did the same and then changed the settings in the UI , saved manually and
ran the script again and the output was the same as the last UI save.

I was wrong in beleiving that the file type conversion cannot be changed  -
seems that the EPS conversion class "inherits" the properties that last UI
save uses.

That doesn't solve the problem of how to dynamically change those
properties in an AppleScript workflow though.

... wouldnt be surprised if it worked via OLE though  (sigh)
