Jerry,

What you could also try doing is to change the workflow slightly to
output a PDF from FM first, then in Acrobat verify all colours using a
preflight tool such as PitStopPro (by Enfocus at
http://www.enfocus.com ) and optionally convert any RGB colours using
Global Actions in PitStop. You then crop and export (or Save As
depending upon version) as an EPS from Acrobat. That should give you a
clean file to insert in your Quark workflow. There is a fair degree of
automation that you can do with PitStop or alternatively if you are
doing a lot of files, you can look at the PitStop Server route.

Another tool that will clean up RGB in PDFs is Quite-a-Box-of-Tricks
from Quite Software at http://www.quite.com

A third alternative is to use tool such as a Creo's Pagelet at
http://www.creo.com/products/software_solutions/creative/plugins/products/pagelet/index.asp
This lets you insert PDFs inside of other PDFs so that the assembly
takes place at the final stage (i.e. in Acrobat rather than in Quark
Express). It's quite simple to use and works as advertised in a
composite PDF workflow.
