I didn't try Actions at first since my boss said he had no luck with it. I just tried the action you listed, and it works for some files, but not all. The problem is that only some of the diagrams have text in them. Once the action reaches a textless image, it ends up pasting the previous image's text onto this one. Additionally, it keeps changing the filetype from EPS to AI.
