I'm currently parsing the windows binary format in 5.2 of the EPS 3.0 spec and scanning for %%BeginPreview ... %EndPreview to remove the previews and that's working fine.

I couldn't help noticing that the EPS file I got from Illustrator has a block of private data after the '%AI9_PrintingDataEnd' that's twice the size of the preceeding postscript. When I strip out everything after '%AI9_PrintingDataEnd' before injecting into my postscript, it seems to work just fine. Does anyone know whether this will work in the general case?
