So, if your destination is printing press, EPS graphics are still the safest way to go (although PDF graphics can also do the job now).

This begs a question, with my apologies if it has been belabored here in the past.

In pre-press work on Mac, I often had extensive struggles with the final PDFs for all sorts of reasons (extraneous plates, hairlines and so on), but 'helpful' conversion *from* CMYK was never one of them.

Is this still an issue with Windows FrameMaker? The thought of Pantones being converted to RGB is the stuff of nightmares.
