All I had to do was open the EPS in Preview and Save As… PDF.
One thing Preview is quite good at is saving files in different formats. I bet loads of people view their PDFs in Preview every day with no idea of its hidden power… Everything I need is already on my computer: Preview. I realised I didn’t need extra software to convert an EPS to PDF. I did a quick search for converting EPS files and saw several references to PDF and opening the PDF in Inkscape.
Recently I needed to change the colour of an EPS image and I didn’t want to do a hack job by just filling a new colour over a bitmap versions. EPS files have their uses, for sure, but they seem to be a standard output of Adobe Illustrator, which is a bit sad, because Inkscape (the open source vector editor I use) can’t open them (without some hassle with ghostscripts or something).
