Hi there Carol,

If you save the EPS with PostScript Level 1, this avoids one problem - older
versions of Quark XPress can separate them when you turn on Separations -
many PDF files can contain compression and colorspace descriptions that can
be translated into PostScript 2 or 3, and while there are advantages to
writing PostScript using Level 2 or 3 operators, some applications can't
parse them or separate them properly when imported or printed.

I just tried using Acrobat 5 on OSX to convert a composite Hexachrome PDF
which contain 6 channel color images and made an eps using these settings
and it worked fine;

Hope this helps...
