Thanks for your prompt reply,

The issue is specifically dealing with ghostscript as you have mentioned. I am working on Mac OsX and it seems GhostScript does not support mac osx is this accurate? is there any other alternative?

thanks for your time, i greatly appreciate it

Actually, there is. Inkscape is quite good at opening PDFs so all you need to do is get your images into PDF format.

I found that Acrobat Reader can convert an AI file to PDF. It can probably do the same with EPS as well. Alternatively, check out this online PDF convertor. It can convert loads of different formats into PDF.
