Show EPS file in ABCpdf with standards modes set to IE8

Question

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">

or

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8">

With this set my EPS files are not rendered in ABCpdf, but set to EmulateIE7 and they work fine.

I know EPS aren't a standard web format but they are embedded into a PDF using a bit of ABCpdf magic.

Because IE8 isn't even trying to show them they are not appearing on the PDF as they previously were.
