The showpage operator is permitted in EPS files. It is usually included to allow viewing/printing the EPS file without needing to include it in a PS file. The EPS specification is available at: https://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5002.EPSF_Spec.pdf Section 3.2 of the specification states: "The showpage operator is permitted in EPS files because it is present in so many PostScript language files. Therefore, it is reasonable for an EPS file to use the showpage operator, although it is not necessary if the EPS file will only be imported into another document. The application importing the EPS file is responsible for redefining showpage." The sample EPS file in section 7 of the specification contains a showpage operator. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Oi, I need to read the specs more carefull (although I find it kind of stupid to include a showpage in an EPS, because it messes with the postscript page). I will try the recommended solution (which is more a king of dirty hack) and see if the additional showpage stops having the effect of yielding additional pages. The postscript manual also recommends a save/restore pair around any imported code, which I had not yet in place. Thanks for pointing this out.
