Acrobat doesn't support displaying EPS files because that would involve having a PostScript interpreter built-in. If you open it in GhostScript/GhostView you will see it because the PDF is internally converted to PostScript and GhostScript is a PostScript interpreter. So you cannot fix it by modifying FOP. But you could convert the EPS file to SVG, for example, using Adobe Illustrator or a similar program. The SVG will then be converted by Batik and FOP to PDF drawing operations. > Or can the resulting PDF from FOP be "post-processed" (from PDF to PDF), > so EPS-images can be shown in Acrobat?

Right, because the PDF is converted to PostScript (by the printer driver) and then back to PDF (by Distiller). This process makes an implicit conversion from EPS to PDF drawing operations.
