[xep-support] XEP not reading EPS graphics

[Michael Sulyaev]

Hello, Balazs,

Do not remove embedded TIFF file from EPS file. These embedded bitmaps 
are what XEP reads from EPS and puts to PDF. XEP does not _create_ 
bitmaps out of EPS.

The Reference states ("5.2.3. EPS", 
http://www.renderx.net/Content/support/xep/reference.html#EPS):
	"EPS images are supported in PostScript generator only. In the PDF 
generation module, they are replaced by a bitmap preview image (EPSI or 
TIFF) if available; otherwise, the correspondent area is left blank."
