Running the following

agrid = Grid[{{Style["hello", Bold]}}]
ImportString[ExportString[agrid, "PNG"], "PNG"]
ImportString[ExportString[agrid, "EPS"], "EPS"]

spits out

hello
hello
"hello"

That is, the EPS exporter included the quotation marks in the output. Same for PDF. Without the Grid, all exporters leave out the quotation marks. What magic do I need to get rid of the quotation marks in the PDF?
