    $\begingroup$ You might want to install Ghostview or GSView to examine eps files. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 28, 2015 at 9:31

    $\begingroup$ You should use Linux, then all what you have to do is click on the file ;) but I would not even save from Mathematica as eps. You could save the image to pdf, and then crop it then convert it to eps, like this: pdfcrop --margins 10 --clip image.pdf image.pdf then pdftops -f 1 -l 1 -level3 -eps image.pdf pdfcrop comes with texlive. Very nice program. It removes all empty space around the image from the pdf. I have script that does the above for all my pdf images. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 28, 2015 at 10:22

  • $\begingroup$ I tried opening a Mathematica generated EPS file with Adobe Reader on OS X. Abode Reader didn't like it at all -- said was corrupt. If Adobe Reader can't open an EPS file, I think one must conclude the file is bad. So it appears to me that Mathematica's EPS generator is broken. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 28, 2015 at 13:10
