Well main thing was that she insisted on having an EPS...
So I fixed her a normal EPS file....
Let's see what else I did..
First of all I followed your advise on putting the text in anew..
after that I made all the things I had shapes...
but this didn't make it compatible..
I had saved it as a Binary.. cos that s'posed to be compatible with mac..
the result is a Huge file.. but this is no problem..
as long as you make sure the file's pix/inch aren't of an impossible amount..
I set it to 172 which was more than enough for what I wanted.. (depends on what you want..)
still the file was atleast 7 MB's (first it was 21 because I had more pix/inch and a bigger image)
I was able to include Vector Data thanxz to sPECtre's wisdom sharing!
and I made sure it was set to TIFF 8 bits/pixel..
so in short:
TIFF 8 bits/pixel
Binary
Include Vector Data (if you can)
(if using a Image created on PC on a Mac make sure to save it as CMYK on the PC)
If this all results in a HUGE file.. Just ZIP it...
this easily shrinks it down more than 400 %
I made 7 mb's change in 150 kb...
this way I could fit it on a normal disk instead of a CD..
well that's all I did...
one thing I learned was that when saving in EPS binary it makes A LOT of difference what size (HxW) and pix/inch your image is.. if you want it not to be to big!!
most important for Compatibility on both Mac and PC is to save it as EPS Binary in 8 bits/pixel!!!!
Well.. I said everything twice now so it should be clear...
nothing to it really!!
seeya!!

ps: all of this only applies to EPS.. I don't really know about PDF yet..
the Lady of the printing company told me that if they get stuff in PDF it always gives error's and problems.. while EPS (IF saved correctly) always works!.. (sorry Maestro Mark!!! [shhh] )
