Hi Jesse

I'm afraid we probably can't help much. I asked our guy and he said:

I thought that issue had more to do with upgrading Adobe Illustrator. When you save an EPS it includes a BoundingBox comment that defines the area of the page that the figure occupies in the artwork:

%%BoundingBox: LLx LLy URx URy

LLx and LLy are the coordinates of the lower left corner of the figure. URx and URy are the coordinates of the upper right corner of the figure.

When FrameMaker imports an EPS it reads the BoundingBox comment to get the size and position of the figure on the page, and therefore to compute the translation and scaling required in the PostScript output to put the figure where you want it.

The impression I got was that when you updated the EPS figure FrameMaker didn't always refresh the BoundingBox info.

The later version of Illustrator seemed to save files with a different BoundingBox. As a result there was a mis-match between the actual BoundingBox and what FrameMaker recorded.

The solution for us was to simply re-import the figure. I never wrote a script to solve that problem.
