[OS X TeX] Turning eps to pdf problems

[David Watson]

Stephen,

I have written a little perl script to help you recover your files.

--- script follows ---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
undef $/;
@prolog = split(/$!PS-Adobe/, <>);
@grist = split(/%%EOF/, $prolog[1]);

     open(OUTFILE, ">recovered.Eps");
     print OUTFILE "%!PS-Adobe" . "$grist[0]" . "%%EOF\n";
     close OUTFILE;
--- end of script ---

Just copy the content of the script into a text file and save it as  
something like 'recovereps.pl' and make sure to 'chmod 755  
recovereps.pl'

Then when you need to use it, copy it to your working directory and  
'./recovereps.pl mystubborn.eps'

This will leave you with a file called 'recovered.eps' that you can  
rename as you wish. I wish I had the time to make a more elegant  
solution, perhaps someone else on this list can help you from here.
