It'll have to be somebody else who has the right software, then.

If it is something you can put on a web site, I'll be happy to
add the "sections" to correspond with the numbering as it
appears on the individual pages.

I get pdfs either from a scan or through printing utilities.
No intention of giving Adobe money for a format that was developed
for common usage.

I buy tools that solve problems.  I don't really care who gets
paid for them as long as there is a net value added in the
products that I produce with them.  Adobe did, after all, create
PostScript.

Thought it might take if I processed it through html formatting,
but that didn't seem to 'take' either.

I suspect this is a common enough problem that there are other
(non-Adobe) solutions out there.  In a pinch (for a "one off"),
you could directly edit the EPS.
[I do this in reverse; I use Illustrator to create drawings
and then extract the specific PS commands to paste into other
documents.  Saves me the trouble of having to develop a
"drawing application".]
