Is it possible, from within an AppleScript, to insert the contents of an EPS into a graphic -content page item? 

For example, I have a small EPS file which prints out the horizontal and vertical scaling at which it is rendered (useful for catching slightly shrunken printouts). I would like to be able to place this EPS content on a page from within a script without linking to a file on disk. 

I suppose I could create a temporary EPS file, place it, and then unlink to embed it, but would rather just insert the content. 

Thanks, 

Peter
